The publication of a new national outcome metric for youth mental health is imminent. The implementation of Mental Health Support Teams is driving more outcome measurement in schools and colleges. The calls on mental health support are increasing and diversifying. Can our outcome measurement approaches answer this challenge?
During the CORC Forum 2019, 21st November, we have shared young people’s responses to these developments, the latest position from NHS England, service innovation from our members, new CORC research, and learning from the international arena.

Resources by young people for young people: the journey of an outcome measure
As part of our work with Young People, we wanted to know what questions young people want to ask mental health researchers, mental health practitioners and mental health service providers.
The ultimate goal is to use these questions as a foundation for our bigger work on producing a short film, co-produced by young people, to help young people and their friends and family to better understand what happens to their information and data when accessing help and support. For example, why do services want this information in the first place? Does it affect the treatment or therapy in any way? How is this information being treated and where is it going to be used outside the mental health services, such as research?
