 t pregnancy and motherhood pose significant risks to girls’ mental healt
 h. However\, few interventions to promote good mental health and prevent m
 ental health conditions during this time\, with most evaluated in high-inc
 ome countries. Equitable partnership with young people and their communiti
 es in the development of youth-focused interventions is vital to the devel
 opment of interventions that are sustainable at scale. \n\nOver a four-yea
 r period\, the INSPIRE (Innovative approaches to adolescent perinatal well
 being) project blended human-centred design\, systems thinking and impleme
 ntation science methods to co-design and test an adolescent perinatal ment
 al health intervention in Kenya and Mozambique. Over 200 adolescents\, ser
 vice providers\, family members and community influencers took part in the
  co-design process. \n\nThe resulting Thriving Mamas programme (TMP) is a 
 nine-session antenatal course which supports girls to look after themselve
 s and their babies\, strengthen life skills and plan for the future. Pilot
  testing found TMP to be highly feasible\, appropriate and acceptable to a
 ll participants. Adolescents receiving the intervention were significantly
  more likely to see a reduction in mental health symptoms compared to thei
 r peers. Participants described TMP as giving them hope for their futures 
 and the futures of their babies. \n\nINSPIRE has demonstrated that co-prod
 uction approaches can be successfully used to develop mental health interv
 entions. The benefits and challenges of co-designing in this context will 
 be discussed with thoughts for future work and practice. \n\nThe talk will
  end with an audience Q&A. \n\n*Speaker bio:*\n\nDr Tatiana Taylor Salisbu
 ry is Reader in Global Mental Health and Design at King’s College London
  (KCL). She is Director of the WHO Collaborating Centre for Research and T
 raining in Mental Health at KCL and Co-Director of the Centre for Global M
 ental Health\, a collaboration between KCL and the London School of Hygien
 e and Tropical Medicine.  \n\nHer work blends human-centred design\, syste
 ms thinking and implementation science to develop development of scalable 
 and sustainable solutions to improve mental health outcomes.  \n\nTatiana'
 s other interests include integrating mental health into physical health s
 ervices\, operationalising good quality mental health care\, and engaging 
 communities in intervention development and service delivery.
