Supporting those working in mental health services
The Foundation for Professionals in Services to Adolescents (FPSA) aims to improve adolescent mental health. We do this through our Journal and by making grants and awards to support professional development.

We offer funding for conferences, events, research, training and education for those employed to do mental health work. We also fund staff development and initiatives that offer support to frontline staff across child and adolescent mental health services.
