The Emerging Minds Network is pleased to share recordings from our webinar on December 2nd 2020 to discuss our new Co-RAY project which focuses on how we can best support young people aged 11-16 with their mental health during COVID-19 and beyond. We are very grateful to the Medical Research Council and the Westminster Foundation for supporting this work.
