About Youthinmind.

Y

outhinMind is a collection of psychologists, educators, and experts in IT. Our aim is to promote the psychological well-being of people everywhere through the provision of information, assessment, treatment and research.


We offer the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), and the Development and Well-Being Assessment (DAWBA) to aid in assessing youth and adult mental health. Our screening and assessment tools have been translated in multiple languages and are used world-wide.

The idea for youthinmind came from Robert Goodman, Professor of Brain and Behavioral Medicine at King’s College London. Robert is the primary inventor of the SDQ and the DAWBA, and takes part in research on psychological health throughout the world.
