Action for child mental health

Who We Are

We are a research network that aims to reduce the prevalence of mental health problems experienced by children and young people.

We are working across sectors and disciplines to tackle 4 Research Challenges. Our research challenges have been developed in partnership with young people, their families, practitioners and policy makers.
