What is the Improving mental health outcomes for people in education, training and work Call?

Grant Description
This call seeks projects to scale up integrated person-centred mental health interventions across education, training and work settings. It aims to deliver scalable, replicable and transferable blended interventions for all age groups, with a focus on youth, and to generate effectiveness and health economics data. Funded projects will provide evidence-based tools and quality data to inform policy and bridge the gap between mental health outcomes and socio-economic transitions.
