Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Young people aged 12 to 17 years old 2. Recruited from the Children and Young People's Mental Health Service waitlist for treatment because of low mood or depression. Eligibility commences from the moment of allocation to the waiting list and persists until a young person chooses to leave the waiting list or is offered a treatment by the service. From prior RCT research, it has been inferred that the median age of wait-list participants in scope for MMW will be 15 years and 3 months, and 70% will be female sex as assigned at birth.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: There are no initial participant exclusion criteria. Young people in crisis are likely to come off the waiting list so by definition will no longer be eligible. Some young people may deteriorate whilst part of the study and require active treatment from the Child and Young People's Mental Health Service, which will be monitored in terms of safety and numbers to inform sample size calculation for a definitive trial. Access to MMW would not be withdrawn should this occur, unless advised to do so by the treating practitioners practitioner. Such discussions will be carefully recorded and monitored.
