Overview
Anna is a Research Fellow in the Children and Young People's Mental Health Research Collaboration (ChYMe). She is working with Vashti Berry on Kailo, a research and design initiative supporting local communities to co-design strategies to improve adolescent mental health. This project uses realist evaluation methods and has a particular focus on addressing the underlying social drivers of poor adolescent mental health.
Before joining ChYMe, Anna worked mainly on evaluations of universal mental health and wellbeing programmes in schools. Her PhD looked at the sustainability of school-based interventions, exploring the complexity of school settings and the challenges around creating wider system change.
