Are you a clinician in the field of CYPMH? Despite major advances in evidence-based treatments, many young people do not experience the improvement we would hope for. Engagement is difficult, outcomes variable & 1 size fits all approaches do not capture young people's complexity. 🧵(1/8)

Are you a researcher in the field of CYP mental health? Around 3 quarters of mental health difficulties begin before age 24. Yet treatments for CYP often show poorer outcomes than those for adults. So how do we turn advances in psychological science into meaningful change for young people? 🧵(1/9)
