Evidence Based Practice Unit | Key Research Findings
Every year, we publish an overview of the Evidence Based Practice Unit's (EBPU) key research findings in child mental health.
The Evidence Based Practice Unit's findings are categorised into four focus areas.
Risk: what is the range of contexts and conditions that put a child or young person at risk of mental health issues?
Resilience: what enables some children to cope better than others in difficult circumstances?
Change: what influences change in children’s mental health and wellbeing over time?
Choice: how can children and families be supported to be an active part of decision-making?
