Child Mental Health Research Trust

Child Mental Health Research Trust

The Child Mental Health Research Trust (aka C-ment) is a registered charity, founded in 1991 by University College London and West Essex Child Mental Health Services to expand clinical services for and research into mental disturbances in young people. Some projects are fully funded by the Trust, for other projects the initial funding is provided to ensure that young researchers have time to prepare projects and to allow pilot schemes to get off the ground.

C-ment itself supports several projects: identifying children at risk for drug use, understanding why teenagers harm themselves, help children with Tourettes syndrome.
