The Wolfson Centre for Young People's Mental Health, to be based at Cardiff University, will study how problems such as anxiety and depression arise in young people, and aims to develop more effective interventions.
Experts will analyse findings to help inform and develop public health and school policies and schools will also be examined for the role they play in promoting positive mental health.
The centre will see experts in child and adolescent psychiatry, genetics, social science and public health working together on topics such as how genetic and environmental factors are involved.
Interventions may include how to support families when a parent suffers from depression.
