Our Aims

The overarching aims of the Bath MHRG group are:

  • Preventing mental health difficulties from developing in the first place
  • Early intervention for when problems first start
  • Increasing access to good care when children and young people need it

Our Research Themes

1. Digital self-help for common mental health difficulties

2. Supporting young people with behavioural difficulties or neurodivergence

3. Understanding and addressing drug use

4. Improving outcomes after adverse childhood experiences

Our Approach

We recognise that young people’s experiences of mental health difficulties is different for everyone. We want to develop and build services that reflect this and operate a ‘no wrong door’ approach for young people. This can help young people to access the right support, when they need it, in a way which works for them.
