About this trial
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of participation in five different STIME (Strengthened Cross-Sectoral Initiative for Children and Young People's Mental Health) interventions: 'Signs of Disordered Eating', 'Signs of Internalizing', 'Signs of Self-Harm', 'Take the Control Back', and 'The Parent Pilots'. The hypothesis is that participation in one of these interventions will be more effective than Management As Usual (MAU). Each intervention consists of three core components: early identification and screening, therapy based on evidence-informed manuals, and support within the child's learning environment.
