  • Research summary

    This research aims to contribute to our understanding of the experiences of young people who are admitted to adolescent mental health wards for assessment or treatment of a mental health problem. Young people who are recruited to take part in this study will be asked about their experiences with specific reference to the relationships they may have developed with other young people and members of their care team. It is hoped that this research will help us to better understand how the development of peer and therapeutic relationships can contribute to the effective provision of inpatient care.
