Featured research areas

Supporting the mental health of young men

Many young men face barriers to recognizing when they need help and finding relevant support. Our work focuses on building more accessible, trustworthy pathways to care.

Mental health in today’s workplace

Work affects mental health in many ways, from daily stress to access to support. We study these pressures and explore how workplaces can better protect well-being.

Youth mental health in focus

Young people’s experiences are shaped by changing social, digital and economic conditions. Our research identifies emerging pressures and turns evidence into better decisions and services.

Substance use and mental health

Substance use can be both a response to distress and a source of further harm. We examine this relationship and support more holistic approaches to care.
