Young Minds: Our Future is led by a team of experts from across Australia and around the world who specialise in child and adolescent mental health. The team includes researchers, clinicians, and policy professionals – all working together to design and deliver the study. While the project is still underway, the team is focused on producing rigorous, meaningful research that can help improve mental health support for young people. As results become available, we’ll share what we learn to help shape better policies, services, and public understanding.
