THE ADOLESCENT DEPRESSION NETWORK TO CONSOLIDATE EXPERTISE (ADVANCE)

We are passionate about reducing depression in young people. Our group includes researchers, young people with lived experience, parents, charity partners and clinicians from around the world.
The shared vision of our group is to ADVANCE treatments and services. Co-production and lived experience is at the heart of what we do.
Depression is a global health challenge with underwhelming treatment outcomes, particularly in young people. Several groups have identified priorities for research in this area. We now need co-development and collaboration to progress this essential work and promote action, and change.
By bringing together researchers, clinicians, young people and parents and drawing on existing evidence, we can design solutions that can be readily implemented across settings.
