Our work:
Mental health across the life-course
Why this research:
Across the globe, mental health conditions are closely linked with long-term illness and disability. Providing services that effectively prevent and treat mental ill health for people of all ages is a significant challenge of health care systems.
Tried and tested treatments and tools that support clinicians to make informed decisions are needed that can be delivered efficiently to the right people at scale.
