# Home In partnership with the [Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF)][1] and the [Child Mind Institute][2], the Children and Adolescent Mental Health Initiative (CAMHI) has been established o help enhance child and adolescent mental health care capacity and strengthen the infrastructure for prevention, assessment, and treatment of mental health struggles faced by children and adolescents in Greece. Under the [SNF’s Health Initiative][3] and the associated public-private partnership in place between SNF and the Greek State, the Child Mental Health Initiative (CAMHI) envisions to expand access to mental health care and offer ground-up resources in ways that can reinforce the critical work done by mental health and child protection providers across the country. Aimed (a) to raise mental health literacy and awareness; b) to increase access to evidence-based mental health care; (c) to build out technological capacity, and (d) to establish a country-wide Referral Network for children and adolescent mental health care, the CAMHI builds on a solid open science-based framework aspiring to leverage scientific knowledge production about children and adolescent mental health and mental health care in Greece. To approach that, the initiative has been following three research approaches: 1. [**A systematic review**][4] of the literature on studies reporting on the (a) prevalence estimates of mental health conditions or symptoms of representative samples of children and adolescent, (b) experimental interventions on mental health disorders or mental health promotion, and (c) studies reporting data on assessment instruments. 2. A [**survey**][5] with a representative sample of children and adolescents, caregivers, teachers, and healthcare professionals assessing quality of life and well-being, symptoms of common mental disorders, mental health needs, literacy and stigma levels, as well as training background and needs. 3. [**Focus groups**][6] with key stakeholders from the general population and the professional community involved in child and adolescent welfare and healthcare. 4. [**A Local Needs Assessment**][7] through visiting around 50 schools across the cities of Athens, Alexandroupoli, Ioannina, and Heraklion surveying 362 educators on challenges and needs to support student mental health in the classroom. The present repository aims at sharing with the scientific community the resources used to build the CAMHI research strategy and the data that resulted from the systematic review, the survey, and the focus groups.
