MHID is part of the Oxford Health Biomedical Research Centre based at the Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust. We are supported by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) as one of their themes focused on brain health. The NIHR have 20 Biomedical Research Centres which are all networks of experts run collaboratively between universities and NHS trusts. They facilitate research and support transforming discovery into new treatments and health technologies. Find out more about Biomedical Research Centres and how they work.
Mental Health in Development is a research organisation working across sectors and disciplines to develop targeted improvements to improve the mental health of children and young people. We are unable to offer individual consultations. However, we do have a list of suggested resources and links to organisations which are able to provide support. You can find those listed on our Resources page.
