One in five children and young people in the UK has a probable mental health issue, according to the Mental Health of Children and Young People 2023 survey, co-led by the University of Exeter. Our research is finding new ways to combat this.

We face a global crisis exacerbated by unprecedented challenges – our research has found that the mental health of young people deteriorated more rapidly during the pandemic.

To begin to reverse this mental health emergency, urgent action is needed. The University of Exeter is a leader in the development of new approaches to prevention and intervention, as well as the vital training and expansion of the mental health workforce. Our groundbreaking work ranges from exploring triggers of mental health problems, to developing new ways of preventing those problems in early childhood, to pioneering work with adolescents who have a clinical diagnosis.
