What’s the project?
This study is being run by a research team based at King’s College London. The team are carrying out research to improve mental health care for young people who have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) alongside other emotional difficulties, like depression or anxiety.
They are looking for young people with lived experience to work with them and help shape this research.
