Children and young people (CYP) are experiencing a significant mental health (MH) crisis that is threatening their future. Deeply rooted health inequalities perpetuate this crisis and call for immediate action. This project will promote easy access to best practice in local arts activities that support the diverse MH needs of CYP and thus enable them to take better control of their lives. By supporting the MH of CYP the project will meet an important NHS priority contributing towards tackling the health inequalities affecting their lives.We will build on successes from Arts for the Blues (AH/W007983/1), a project that received funding from AHRC for phase one of this programme and successfully scaled up the use of an evidence-based creative psychological intervention in the North West. We will also draw on a track-record of 25+ years of engaging CYP in arts activities, and on our extensive co-production experience.Co-creation will therefore become central to this work. We will focus on CYP aged 9-13, a group at significant risk of developing MH problems whilst transitioning from childhood to early adolescence. They will be encouraged to act as co-researchers developing skills they can use after the completion of the project, ensuring direct benefits.We expect that co-creation will lead to meaningful engagement of CYP with this study that aims to generate new, scalable evidence concerning:(A) how to access arts activities that best support the MH of CYP;(B) how to evaluate arts activities that meet the diverse MH needs of CYP;(C) how to maximise the benefit of arts activities for as many CYP as possible.We will create a digital platform where evidence-based local arts activities will become easily accessible for CYP, their families, relevant organisations and services. We will do this by identifying good local arts practice that addresses the diverse MH needs of CYP, especially those who are often under-represented. Six CYP Creative Health Associates will be employed to work in areas with marked health inequalities and establish local collaborations between community partners and existing social prescribing link workers. They will also work with the research team to provide easy and sustainable access to arts activities and thus, bypass local barriers.The active involvement of Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) (e.g., Lancashire and South Cumbria and Cheshire and Mersey Care), medical leads and medical directors of CYP's MH, NHS trusts, schools and community organisations will encourage collaboration within and across systems, enabling the development of an agreed evaluation framework of best practice in arts activities. This will support streamlining access to therapeutic uses of the arts as well as scaling up and adopting the outputs from the study in the North West and beyond.Finally, we will develop and share the project outputs with our 46 non-academic national and international collaborators, making an active contribution towards tackling health inequalities that benefits the MH of CYP wherever they live.

儿童和年轻人（CYP）正在遇到威胁他们未来的重大心理健康（MH）危机。根深蒂固的健康不平等现象使这场危机永存并呼吁立即采取行动。该项目将在当地艺术活动中轻松访问最佳实践，以支持CYP的各种MH需求，从而使他们能够更好地控制自己的生活。通过支持CYP的MH，该项目将符合重要的NHS优先事项，以解决影响其生活的健康不平等。我们将基于Blues艺术的成功（AH/W007983/1）的成功，该项目获得了该计划的AHRC资金，该计划获得了该计划的阶段之一，并成功地扩展了基于循证的基于循证的创造性心理学Internation Intersoloital Intersoloital Intersoloital Intersolodical Intersoloital Internestens north north north north north north north north north north north north north north north north short in北。我们还将借鉴25年以上CYP参与艺术活动的田径记录，并根据我们广泛的共同制作经验。因此，Co-Creation将成为这项工作的核心。我们将专注于9-13岁的CYP，这是一个从童年到青春期过渡时出现MH问题的巨大风险的群体。将鼓励他们充当项目完成后可以使用的技能的共同研究者，确保直接收益。我们期望共同创造将导致CYP与这项研究的有意义的参与，旨在为有关新的访问Arts Arts Arts Arts Arts Arts Arts Arts Arts Arts of Arts Insim;（b）;（b）提供多样化的ART;（b）CYP;（b）cy;（b）cy;（b）; c;（b）cy;（b）cy;（b）cy;（b）cy;（b）cy的多样化;（b）cy（b）;我们将为尽可能多的CYP进行艺术活动。我们将创建一个数字平台，在该平台中，CYP，其家人，相关组织和服务都可以轻松访问基于证据的本地艺术活动。我们将通过确定良好的当地艺术实践来解决CYP的各种MH需求，尤其是那些经常代表性不足的人的需求。六个CYP Creative Health Associates将被用来在具有明显健康不平等的领域工作，并在社区伙伴与现有社会处方链接工作人员之间建立本地合作。他们还将与研究团队合作，为艺术活动提供便捷，可持续的访问，因此绕过当地障碍。积极参与综合护理委员会（ICB）（例如Lancashire和South Cumbria，Cumbria和Cheshire和Cheshire和Mersey Care），医疗领导者和医疗董事将对CYP的MH，MHS MH，SORVENT SORMECTS跨越范围的合作进行跨NHS，NHS的合作范围，并启用NHS的合作范围。在艺术活动中。这将支持简化艺术治疗用途的访问，并扩大并采用西北及其他地区的研究的产出。从本文中，我们将与46位非学术国家和国际合作者开发和共享项目成果，从而积极贡献有利于CYP的健康不平等的健康不平等。
