Headstrong is involved in leading edge evaluation research in youth mental health to determine young people’s mental health needs, assure quality programming, and assess outcomes of its work.
Headstrong‘s Jigsaw programme is based on an extensive evidence base and has demonstrated “value for money” as an innovative early intervention prevention programme.
Research conducted by Headstrong demonstrates that the presence of at least One Good Adult was a key indicator of how well a young person is connected, self-confident, future-looking, and can cope with problems in their lives.
