So What Have We Learned From Our Research Over the Last Year?
Join us as we unpack our key research findings from the last 12 months.
About this seminar
The So What? seminar series builds the bridge between evidence and practice in children and young people’s mental health. Each seminar, we ask "So what does this mean?" in response to research findings, project outcomes and the work of our collaborators.
This seminar celebrates the launch of the Evidence Based Practice Unit’s 2024 Key findings booklet, which attendees will be invited to download. We’ll ask what personalised mental health support should involve, drawing on the experiences of young people, parents and carers and professionals from eight countries.
We’ll look at the associations between family adversities, health characteristics and intimate partner violence in children and parents and will explore participatory approaches to engaging young people and professionals in identifying mental health needs in North Devon communities.
After the presentations, the researchers, young people, parents and carers on our panel will reflect with our audience on the implications of these findings.
Who is this seminar for?
This webinar is suitable for anyone interested children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing. This includes researchers, policymakers and practitioners working in mental health services, schools and community settings. Young people, parents and carers are also welcome to join us.
