A new research and design programme
Our aim is to help local communities, young people and public service partnerships better understand and address the root causes (and wider determinants) of young people’s mental health.
Where we work
The framework will be developed in two different communities to start with – Newham in East London, and rural Northern Devon. Through research, design and collaboration, we will discover opportunities for positive change in a way that supports young people’s mental health.
In the future, this framework can then be used on a wider-scale, in other communities across the UK.
