ARC Outreach Alliance: Young People's Open Minds in Northwest London

Mental Health Infrastructure RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM 2024

On Wednesday 11th September, we acknowledged the AOA project's Phase 1 achievements, and promoted our plans to continue building on vital children and young people's mental health research in Phase 2 (2024-2025).


The symposium ended with a presentation of prizes to our award-winning Young People's Advisory Group (YPAG) who have played an essential role in the success of our research over the past three years, followed by a networking feast!


The AOA research team would like to warmly thank everyone who joined us for our first in-person event
