The aim of this project was to explore the perspectives of experienced practitioners - working in mental health services or in contact with mental health services- about 'what works' and 'what does not work' in successfully engaging young people from refugee backgrounds with mental health services. Effective utilisation of services included first contact access as well as access to appropriate follow-up care, if needed. The resulting report on the findings identified what are considered to be effective and ineffective approaches to engage this population with such services.
