PhD Studentship: Transdiagnostic Mental Health Interventions for Adversity Affected Youth

health provision varies widely and focused intervention elements could be especially beneficial. This project will explore potential for embedding core transdiagnostic intervention components for youth affected by adversity into such provision, thereby enhancing this key source of support. As such, the objectives for this project are to determine what key processes should be the target of any transdiagnostic interventions for trauma-affected youth, and whether and how these processes can be addressed via third sector organisations that routinely offer support for this group.

This PhD project will be embedded within the NIHR Mental Health Research Group at the University of Bath, comprising a large team of researchers focused on mental health in the under 25s.
