We are currently contacting families registered with our practice, to ask if they would be interested in taking part in a new research study run by the Wolfson Centre for Young People’s Mental Health at Cardiff University.

The Wolfson Centre was launched in 2021 with a focus on reducing anxiety and depression in young people. This includes finding ways to prevent depression in young people before it develops. As part of this work, researchers are undertaking a randomised control trial of an online psychological intervention (group Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - CBT) for young people aged 13-19 years, who have a parent with a history of depression. The aim is to examine whether this CBT group intervention reduces depression and improves functioning in the young people who receive it.

The research team are looking for parents with a history of depression who also have a child aged 13-19 years old to take part. If you are interested in taking part, please complete our online expression of interest form at the following link:
