Improving outcomes for children with emotional and behavioural difficulties through a school-based intervention: a pilot randomised controlled trial. [ 1/1/2021 - 12/31/2022 ]

Research Grant

Brief description Over 50% of adult mental illness begins during childhood. Our health system is under increasing strain to support such children, especially public services. Teachers are in an ideal position to detect emerging issues and organise intervention, but they need help. This project aims to explore the potential for a collaboration between health and education to identify children with emotional and behavioural difficulties sooner and more accurately, and put in place effective strategies of support.
