Youth Mental Health Conference 24th March 2026

WAH Mental Health Research Team is pleased to invite you to

'Youth Mental Health at Warwick – the Research, the Impact and the Future'.

24th March 2026 (09:30–16:00) at Scarman Meeting and Conference Centre here on the University of Warwick central campus.

 

This event will bring together colleagues from Warwick and partner institutions to showcase leading work on youth mental health, spanning prevention, service innovation, intellectual disabilities, and inequalities in access and outcomes. It will also provide a forum to reflect on progress to date and to shape the future direction of youth mental health research at Warwick and in regional and national partnerships.

 

Through presentations and roundtable discussions, the meeting aims to strengthen interdisciplinary collaboration and contribute to the development of a coherent and impactful programme of research in this area.

 

We would be delighted if you were able to join us for this important discussion.
