Superconnecting the Ecosystem of YPMH - #14

For children, existing treatments for depression are effective in only 60% of cases. After treatment, 50 - 75% experience a relapse. Why are these outcomes so poor? How can we make progress?

In this episode, we answer these questions and discuss:

1. 3 overlooked factors contributing to young people’s mental health

2. How parents can better support their children through mental health challenges

3. How to measure DSM-5 outcomes in fewer questions for young people

Our guest, ⁠Peter Templeton⁠, founded ⁠The William Templeton Foundation for Young People’s Mental Health (YPMH)⁠ - a charitable foundation working to improve the lives of young people by facilitating innovation to resolve mental health conditions.

On June 19th 2024, YPMH are co-hosting ‘⁠Collaborate to innovate: Working together to transform mental health outcomes⁠’ at the University of Cambridge. Each session is relevant to MindTech, but the one I am most looking forward to is the middle session on evaluating and prioritising innovations. Learn more and buy tickets ⁠here⁠.⁠⁠
