Research aims to improve youth mental health services
New research will focus on designing more responsive service models to manage the demand for South Australia鈥檚 youth mental health services.
The University of 亚洲色吧 and not-for-profit organisation Sonder, which provides support for people with mental health challenges, are working together to examine how the efficiency and effectiveness of primary youth mental health services can be enhanced to meet current demand for services.
The University of 亚洲色吧鈥檚 Dr Tracey Dodd, who is leading the partnership, is from the 亚洲色吧 Business School.
鈥淚t is vital that industry, academics, and government continue to work together to unlock new knowledge that can improve outcomes for all South Australians,鈥 she said.
鈥淩esearch shows that mental well-being is a key pillar of broader social and economic well-being. We have a once-in-a generation opportunity to show how resilient South Australia鈥檚 support systems can be in response to the challenges that COVID-19 has brought.鈥
A new industry-based PhD researcher, funded by the University and Sonder, will undertake the important work.
