Between 2018 and 2023 the Transdisciplinary Research for the Improvement of Youth Mental Public Health (TRIUMPH) Network brought together young people with academics, health practitioners, policymakers and those working with voluntary organisations to find new ways to improve youth mental health and wellbeing, especially among those where need is greatest.

One of the core principles underpinning TRIUMPH was that young people should be involved in all of the work that they do and the projects they support. They have now released their final report, which summarises the key activities and achievements of the network since it was established.

They have also released a video about TRIUMPH Fest, a youth-led conference for people involved in youth mental health research and activism that took place over a weekend in October 2022. Attendees from across the UK were invited to present their work through stalls and oral presentations as well as hearing from expert panellists on how to amplify youth voices in mental health research. Young people stayed on for a second day, to take part in workshops on:

  • how to facilitate a workshop;
  • hitting bumps in the road during your research;
  • how to support people to articulate their views about mental health; and
  • how we can create a mentally healthy society for young people.

All the network outputs and resources can be found on the legacy website.
