What is the REACH Project?

Resilience, Ethnicity, and AdolesCent Mental Health

The REACH study will help us understand the best ways to promote good mental health among young people from all backgrounds. 

The study began in 12 secondary schools in south London, with over 4000 young people in Years 7-9 invited to take part since 2016. There have been three main phases of the REACH study.

  1. Phase 1 (2015-2020) focused on mental health during early-to-mid adolescence.
  2. Phase 2 (2020-2021) focused on the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on young people’s mental health.
  3. Phase 3 (2024-2025 - ongoing) focuses on mental health during the transition to adulthood.

REACH is based at ​King's College London, and is funded by the European Union.

​Phase 1: Funded by the European Research Council
Phase 2: Funded by United Kingdom Research and Innovation
Phase 3: Funded by the UK Economic and Social Research Council
