Shaping support for young people experiencing mental health challenges
Our work with the NHS and other care providers is helping to shape the support available for young people who are experiencing mental health challenges.

We have partnered with the National Association of Psychiatric Intensive Care (NAPICU) for a ground-breaking research project that aims to shape the urgent and intensive care provision for children and young people experiencing mental health problems in the UK.
The research will focus on developing the evidence base to improve care quality and outcomes for children and young people requiring intensive therapeutic mental health care.
The three-year project will generate new knowledge that will directly contribute to NHS England’s drive to transform children and young people’s mental health services through development of evidence-based services and solutions to the challenges facing children and young people experiencing acute and complex mental health needs.
At the University of Salford, our research is breaking down barriers, building social justice and fostering a fairer and more inclusive community where opportunity and equity thrive for all.
It starts in Salford. A place where ideas are formed that shape the world.
