We are excited to launch our network today! TRIUMPH is a @UKRI_news-funded #MentalHealth network that brings together young people, academics, health practitioners, and policy-makers to identify bold solutions to improve youth mental health. (THREAD 1/7 – continue reading 👇)

Many of the drivers of poor #MentalHealth sit at the broader social, environmental and cultural level and are affected by our relationships, and the settings & communities we live within. (2/7)

We believe that there's a different, solution-focused approach that seeks to understand young people’s strengths, assets & resiliences. Young people will be at the centre of the TRIUMPH Network. Read about network design ➡️ triumph.sphsu.gla.ac.uk/about-us/#desi… (3/7)

We will target our efforts at marginalised groups (#LGBT & #CareExperienced) with the greatest health needs and the peers, social networks and education settings with most influence on young people’s health and behaviours. Read about our 3 themes ➡️ triumph.sphsu.gla.ac.uk/themes/ (4/7)

Our approach includes workshops to 👇
1) understand the mental health problems facing young people
3) identify possible solutions and take forward project ideas
3) share learning and increase involvement.
