Making Us Count

We know that young people with learning disabilities need to have better mental health services.

Making Us Count was a research programme which ran from 2002 to 2005, comprising of four projects that looked to improve mental health support.

It followed our work on the Count Us In inquiry. It was funded by the Baily Thomas Charitable Fund.
