In children, existing treatments for depression are effective in only 60% of cases. After treatment, 50 - 75% experience a relapse. Why are these outcomes so poor? And how can we make progress?

In this episode, we answer these questions and discuss:

1. 3 overlooked factors contributing to young people’s mental health
2. How parents can better support their children through mental health challenges
3. How to measure DSM-5 outcomes in fewer questions for young people

Peter Templeton founded The William Templeton Foundation for Young People’s Mental Health (YPMH) - a charitable foundation working to improve the lives of young people by facilitating innovation to resolve mental health conditions.

On June 19th 2024, YPMH are co-hosting ‘Collaborate to innovate: Working together to transform mental health outcomes’ at the University of Cambridge. Each session is relevant to MindTech, but the one I am most looking forward to is the middle session on evaluating and prioritising innovations. Learn more and buy tickets here.
