This letter from the INSPIRE research group summarises expert views on the benefits and future of measurement-based care, where client progress is shared to guide therapy. The authors call for greater co-ordination across settings, cultures and systems to support the development of measures and practice.

This is a literature review focused on what evidence is available to explore goal-oriented therapeutic practices in children and young people's mental health and wellbeing settings.

This scoping review examines the experiences and outcomes of young carers (YCs) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where research remains limited.

This paper documents the practicalities, learnings and challenges of co-producing a research project, drawing on personal diaries kept by four researchers who co-produced the InCLUDE project.

This book chapter focuses on how to work with children, young people and their families to improve services.

The aim of this research was to conduct an international qualitative study on the views of young people with lived experience and professionals, on proposed aspects of personalised support for anxiety and/or depression. This work was funded by a Wellcome Trust Mental Health Priority Area “Active Ingredients Youth Insights” commission awarded to the Child Outcomes Research Consortium at Anna Freud.

We searched for studies investigating whole-family-interventions for families living with parental mental illness. We identified what these interventions have in common, their effectiveness and how families' experienced them.

This book, written by two experts in child and adolescent mental health, describes how to recognise depression and what causes it; and provides guidance on how parents can support their child, including up-to-date advice on seeking professional help.

This study combines perspectives from the academic literature and young people to co-develop a definition of young people's mental health self-care. A systematic review identified how self-care had been conceptualised in existing research, and these concepts were evaluated and extended in a workshop with young people to produce the final definition.
