We work to reduce the prevalence and impact of mental health conditions in young people, by connecting cutting-edge research with innovation and real-world implementation to help prevent and reduce conditions like depression and anxiety. Our work enables earlier intervention, better support and long-term solutions for young people’s mental health.
We unite research, innovation, and implementation to ensure evidence translates into effective and user-acceptable real-world solutions. Our goal is to improve mental health outcomes across the system, especially through earlier support for conditions like depression and related mental health challenges.

We want to see a future where fewer young people experience poor mental health, and those who do get the help they need early. Our mission is to:

We connect researchers, innovators, practitioners, policymakers, organisations and families to generate ideas and co-develop solutions.
We help bring promising ideas to life, using tools and insights from innovation management and systems thinking, to enable effective, evidence-based and user-acceptable solutions.
We focus on applying innovations in real-world settings to ensure impact happen - not decades from now, but today.
