Tulip Mental Health and Community Care's mission is to collaborate with local authorities, commissioning groups, and other stakeholders to create tailored placements for young individuals based on their unique needs.

Under Dr Khan's leadership, the organisation is dedicated to ensuring that young people and young adults receive the support and care they need during their transition and beyond.
