The Emerging Minds Network wants to help drive a step change in how research makes a difference to mental health promotion, prevention and early treatment for children & young people’s mental health.

From our Emerging Minds kick off meetings it was clear that there was real interest in developing further research collaborations across a range of subjects.  We want to further support the development of research collaborations that build bridges between different types of expertise and across different types of organisations and sectors.

We are seeking passionate people from a range of backgrounds and sectors to grow special interest research groups over the next twelve months. The aim of these collaborations is to address and make progress on a key topic for children & young people’s mental health research.

To introduce their groups and explain how other people can get involved, the various co-ordinating teams have put together some short videos and explanations – please click on the headings below to find out more.
