    Caroline has been at the Institute for Health and Human Development (IHHD) since 2014 where her main focus of work is currently the development and evaluation of social prescribing initiatives. She is a steering group member of the National Social Prescribing Network (SPN) and has contributed to national guidelines on social prescribing. Previous to this she spent several years in the Psychology department at UEL (at the former Institute for Research in Child Development) working with infants, mothers and adolescents on research ranging from the effects of recreational drug use in pregnancy; to the evaluation of an innovative community development approach to health and wellbeing on the Well London Adolescent Survey. She is also a BACP registered counsellor and psychotherapist and her research interests include the evaluation of treatment pathways for improving mental wellbeing and the promotion of mental health recovery. In a previous life, she spent almost a decade working as a freelancer in the television industry.
