Why join CORC?

CORC members believe that using evidence in a meaningful way will enable us to make child and youth mental health support more effective, responsive, and focussed on the outcomes that are important to children and young people. In joining CORC you become part of a learning collaboration whose members are committed to helping to achieve this goal by pooling their data, sharing their learning and insight, and reflecting together to benefit those in need of support.

Our members come from a wide range of contexts, including voluntary and public sector mental health service providers, schools and councils, professional bodies and research institutions from across Europe and beyond. This makes our network a rich, informed and stimulating hub for debating the latest developments and findings in the field.  Bringing together different perspectives and sectors offers us great opportunities to strengthen approaches and learn from one another.
