To what extent are the mental health needs of children and young people (aged 11-18) in care being supported?

本研究将通过一项混合方法的研究设计，研究儿童和青少年(CYP)在CARE中的心理健康需求，这些需求得到满足的程度，以及多次安置对心理健康干预的影响。该项目将展示CYP Incare目前提供的心理健康服务，以及在多个安置的治疗中保持一致性的重要性。由于人们越来越重视心理健康和福祉，这些发现对社会护理和精神卫生专业人员以及儿童保护计划本身都将特别有价值。总结结果的报告将与参与该项目的CYP和社会关怀人员分享。调查结果将通过出版物、会议报告和内部研讨会进行传播。
