We also receive support from London Councils http://www.londoncouncils.gov.uk/grants/, NHS Camden, Department of Health, EC1 New Deal, NHS Islington, London Borough of Camden, London Borough of Islington and Youth Justice Board.

Local Partnerships

Partnership with statutory services and other voluntary organisations is integral to the Centre’s activities. We work closely with Camden and Islington contributing to the effective delivery of the Teenage Pregnancy Strategy.

We also participate directly in the delivery of NHS Camden’s strategy for child and adolescent mental health services: we are part of a group of providers involved in a joint intake scheme and the director is the voluntary sector representative on Camden’s Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service Joint Commissioning Group.

We have provided on site counselling and psychotherapy services in a number of local schools including Haverstock School, Chalcot EBD School for Boys, Agincourt House Pupil Referral Unit and Richard Cloudesley School.

In Islington, we contribute to EC1 New Deal’s health strategy for young people.

Haringey Youth Offending Service and Camden Youth Offending Service are our partners in a clinical trial that involves implementing and testing the effectiveness of Multisystemic therapy (MST) with families of young people aged 13-16 in serious trouble with the law. Camden, Hackney, Lambeth and Newham are our partners in a pilot of Multisystemic therapy for young people with problem sexual behaviour (MST PSB).

Academic links

The Centre is closely associated with the Research Department of Clinical, Educational and Health Psychology, University College London. The director is a visiting senior lecturer at the department. Academics from the department manage the evaluation of the MST trial and are also responsible for analysing data from the Centre’s programme of audit and outcome evaluation.
