At Health Innovation KSS we work closely with our partners to enable innovation in children and young people’s mental health services, including NHSE, Integrated Care Boards, the voluntary and community sector, NHS Trusts, local authorities, industry partners and young people with lived experience.

We translate the latest research focussing on children and young people’s mental health into action in partnership with NIHR Applied Research Collaboration Kent, Surrey and Sussex.
