We’re thrilled to announce Dr. Jesse Kigozi has joined the Youth Mental Health Foundation (YMHF) as our new Advisory Head of Research. He’ll take on this crucial role while maintaining his position as Associate Professor of Health Economics at the University of Birmingham.

Dr. Kigozi brings extensive expertise, with a strong focus on youth mental health. His work includes health economics and evaluating effective investments in young people’s mental well-being.

At YMHF, Dr. Kigozi will be vital in strengthening our support for young people’s mental and emotional health. He’ll lead efforts to identify the evidence base behind our work and robustly measure the effectiveness of our programmes. This will ensure our impact is clear and allow others to commission our services with confidence.
