90.5% of young people with diverse gender identities have experienced one or more forms of child maltreatment, including physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, neglect or exposure to domestic violence. A horrifying statistic. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.… #acms @CurtinUni

Proud to be part of the #acms team. Our findings released today show the strong associations between child maltreatment and risk behaviours throughout life including self-harm, suicidal behaviours and substance use. @CurtinUni @CurtinMedia

Looking forward to hearing all about the first ever national adolescent mental health surveys in Kenya, Viet Nam, and Indonesia.
As society changes, is it time to change how we screen for depression? With so many adolescents feeling tired and pushing themselves to do schoolwork, should we focus on other indicators? @CPsychResearch | Home authors.elsevier.com/c/1f6m4…
78% of #BlackSummer #bushfires responders were volunteers. Many have not received help for mental health impacts #afterthefires. Australia needs volunteers who aren't at risk of burnout or mental ill-health.

A pleasure to talk with Siusan and Sarah at ESF about #AnsweringTheCall and #AfterTheFires and the amazing work ESF do supporting our emergency services. @HazardsResearch @beyondblue @UWAresearch
Our latest podcast - we speak with @ProfDavidL about two important #research studies he’s led that have provided baseline data around the #wellbeing of people in the #sector #nationwide; @beyondblue's 'Answering the Call' and 'After the Fires'
What was the impact of the #BlackSummer #bushfires🔥 on the #Mentalhealth of the responders? 🚒🚒
We surveyed the nation and found that less than one in five volunteers impacted have received enough help.
