Mental Health Awareness Week

UCL is a powerhouse of mental health research and education. We work across boundaries, combining our expertise in subjects like neuroscience, psychiatry and big data to better understand and treat mental health disorders. Find out how our pioneering research and education is transforming lives.

Multidisciplinary thinking and collaboration

Our ethos of multidisciplinary thinking and collaboration mean that staff from across UCL are engaged in a ‘super-field’ of mental health research and education. By harnessing our diverse expertise and strengths in areas such neuroscience, psychiatry, psychology, population health, education, and data science, we can work beyond traditional boundaries to adopt a unique holistic approach to the global challenge of mental health - from molecular studies to reviewing national policy and translating discoveries in action.

Our 'lifespan' approach to mental health

We address the full spectrum of lifelong mental health from childhood to old age. UCL is developing pioneering approaches to diagnosing and treating mental health conditions, from developmental disorders to mental health in older people and dementia.

Big data

We apply cutting-edge computational modelling and epidemiological approaches to provide a broad longitudinal approach to mental health. UCL has unrivalled access to NHS clinical databases and national population health research cohorts, which gives depth and context to our work. It also helps us understand the impact of mental health on social, economic and health outcomes across generations rather than looking at clinical data in isolation.

Delivering better outcomes for all

UCL is committed to actively engaging with people with lived experiences of mental health conditions in our research. We have a strong heritage of primary and social care participation to ensure a contemporary, co-production approach. We are world leaders in excellence in clinical practice - many of researchers also hold dual roles as clinicians working on the front line of the NHS, ensuring our research and education has patient outcomes at its heart.
