Mental illnesses have increased in the last 10 years with a notable spike among adolescents and young people.
Mental health disorders are increasing fastest in young people aged between 13 and 24. Yet, research is severely underfunded, and treatment is based mostly on research in adults.
BrainWaves is a major response to this crisis in youth and teenage mental health.
- For scientists, we are building the evidence base and creating resources needed to power new research.
- In education, we are working to ensure schools can be more effective places for developing wellbeing in young people.

Your support will lead to better prevention, education and treatment in young people’s mental health and wellbeing – backed by the best and newest scientific evidence.
To date, BrainWaves’ fundraising has supported the recruitment of a leading team of experts from the University of Oxford, the launch of our health data and informatics platform, and the development and evaluation of a schools trial platform for interventions in key areas such as sleep and understanding of how the adolescent brain works.
The ground work has been done and the next phase is really exciting.
