Anna Freud is a world-leading mental health charity for children and families. Our work in collaboration with children and young people, their families and communities and mental health professionals to transform children and families' mental health.

Our approach

We believe that by working in collaboration with communities and professionals, together we can scale up our support for millions of infants, children and young people and their families. We can do this through:

• Research which advances our understanding of the mental health of children and young people
• Evidence which advances the frontiers of clinical knowledge, which we turn into better treatments and interventions
• Solutions which support everyone who cares for or works directly with children and young people
• Training which helps to nurture the next generation of mental health practitioners and researchers, empowers education professionals, and parents and carers.
• Partnerships which unite people, professionals and policymakers with one goal: unlock a better future of our children and young people.
• Collaboration which includes working with children and young people to build better solution.
