Depression is one of the leading causes of illness and disability among adolescents, and suicide is the third leading cause of death in people aged 15–19 years. […] Building socioemotional skills in children and adolescents and providing them with psychosocial support in schools and other community settings can help promote good mental health.
World Health Organisation, 2021
What is our ambition?
Our ambition is to provide an evidence-based and scalable therapeutic intervention for tackling mild to moderate depression in young people at the earliest possible opportunity. We aim to build on the experience and working knowledge of professionals who engage and support young people in the community to enable them to deliver a clinically informed intervention that can change the trajectory of depression.
Who are we?
We are a team of clinicians and researchers from the University of York and Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust. We are dedicated to improving the mental health of young people by providing services, conducting research and training professionals. We are funded by the National Institute for Health Research.
