The extent to which the citizens of Northern Ireland experience challenges with mental ill-health has been well documented. Recent evidence from Northern Ireland’s first ever prevalence study of mental health and wellbeing in children, young people and parents – the 2020 Youth Wellbeing Study – revealed that one-in-ten children and young people experience anxiety or depression, which is approximately 25% higher when compared to other UK nations [1]. Approximately one-in-five (22%) parents interviewed in the same study were experiencing a current mental health problem, which is broadly consistent with estimates reported from previous studies involving adults conducted here [2].
The socio-economic burden of mental ill-health – estimated at £3.4 billion annually [3] – is substantial. A key strategic pillar of Northern Ireland’s Mental Health Strategy 2021-2031 [4] is the delivery of early interventions to prevent the escalation of mental health problems to reduce the societal burden and to improve overall quality of life.
AWARE is the Depression Charity for Northern Ireland. AWARE delivers evidence-based, group-orientated Mental Health Awareness and Life Skills programmes grounded in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) principles for approximately ~7,500 adults and young people experiencing mild-moderate depression across Northern Ireland annually since 2023. Under the Public Health Agency Mental Health and Emotional Health and Wellbeing and Suicide Prevention Framework [5], the Mood Matter programmes meets the standard of Tier 1 (information sharing) whilst the Life Skills Programmes meets Tier 2 (Awareness and Understanding).
This PhD project is a collaboration between Ulster University and AWARE. It will evaluate AWARE’s Mental Health Awareness and Life Skills programmes in order to: (i) gain a deeper understanding of the impact these programmes have in improving health outcomes for adults and young people; and (ii) develop AWARE’s evaluation processes to better capture these outcomes and inform the development of the programmes going forward.
Please note: Applicants with a 2:1 degree in Psychology (or close to completion) are strongly encouraged to apply.
