The WELLBEING study: Working with social care on mental health interventions
05 Dec 2024, 12:00 – 13:00
Children and young people (CYP) in contact with child welfare services are at high risk of developing mental health problems. The WELLBEING study followed the established principles for intervention development, applying the six steps to quality intervention development (6SQUID) approach.
In this seminar, Ruth will discuss both the intervention development process and research findings which led to the co-production of an intervention to prevent mental health problems in CYP in contact with child welfare services.
This event will be particularly useful for those interested in public health, social care, mental health and children's services.
