Summary

The NHS DISCOVER team has secured 2-year funding from the Maudsley Charity to tailor the workshop programme the investigators deliver in school Sixth Forms to meet the specific needs of Care Experienced young people. The investigators are planning to complete a pilot of this adapted workshop programme within Medway Children's Social Services to explore its feasibility, accessibility, acceptability and early-stage efficacy within this population of adolescents.

The study will be conducted at Medway Local Authority sites, with the option of some stages being completed remotely via Microsoft Teams if needed in the context of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
