We are the WISDOM Research Network: Working In Schools to Deliver on Mental health. We are a team of researchers from the Departments of Experimental Psychology, Psychiatry and Education at the University of Oxford. We are creating a large network of primary and secondary schools, including sixth form and further education colleges, who are excited to facilitate and take part in mental health research for children, young people, families and school staff.
The WISDOM Research Network is part of a wider project called Mental Health in Development (MHID). MHID aims to deliver targeted, effective and accessible mental health interventions to meet the needs of diverse children and young people (aged 0-18 years). They are doing this through a range of projects which are developing infrastructure, research capacity, and collaborations across institutions and sectors.
Most mental health problems start in childhood or adolescence and their incidence in children and young people is increasing. We are creating a large network of primary and secondary schools, including sixth form and further education colleges, who are excited to facilitate and take part in mental health research for children, young people, families, and school staff.
