The Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families is the leading national charity supporting young minds through innovative therapeutic practice, training and research. Our vision is a world in which children, young people and their families are effectively supported to build on their own strengths to achieve their goals in life. We care for young minds in five main ways:
- Researching the underlying causes of childhood emotional distress using the latest neuroscience techniques;
- Developing, piloting and evaluating new, cost-effective interventions and treatments for children and families facing mental health difficulties;
- Supporting mental health and education services to improve their practice, through the collection and evaluation of outcomes data and shared decision making;
- Offering teaching and training courses and building a global network of researchers, clinicians and mental health, social care and education professionals to ensure that new knowledge and ideas are shared as widely as possible;
- Providing advice and leadership to national policy initiatives focused on improving children and young people’s mental health.
