YPMH is seeking an experienced and versatile programme leader to lead the development and delivery of our new three-year Food, Brain and Mental Health programme.
Since 2019, YPMH has worked with researchers, clinicians, parents, carers and organisations across the mental health ecosystem to build a more joined-up understanding of depression in young people and identify practical ways to improve outcomes. Our work began with a simple but important question: how can we better understand why depression develops so that we can prevent it, identify it earlier and improve outcomes for young people?
YPMH, Nourish Food School, Jamie Oliver’s Ministry of Food and The University of Reading have recently trialled a new cooking class, aimed at equipping young people with practical skills, confidence and knowledge to support both their physical and mental wellbeing through nutrition.
YPMH has partnered with Anglian Learning to enhance its Belonging by Design strategy — helping schools in the trust adopt evidence-based approaches to prevent and manage mental health conditions such as depression.
