Rosa Town

I am a research assistant at the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families. I am working on two projects -- one is a qualitative evaluation of the Child Outcomes Research Consortium (CORC)'s voluntary sector support, and the other is an Innovating for Improvement Health Foundation-funded project developing a shared decision making tool called an "Option Grid" for child and adolescent mental health in the United Kingdom.

I recently completed an MSc in developmental psychology and clinical practice at University College London and I have worked with children in a variety of settings--research, clinical, academic, extracurricular (as a summer camp counsellor and academic tutor) and in the home as an au pair. I am dedicated to improving mental health and wellbeing services for children and adolescents, and have a particular interest in working with children on the Autism spectrum.
