I am committed to ensuring that every person who needs support for their mental health can access that support when and however they need it. Research is key!

[Dr Imogen Bell @imo_bell]

Engaging presentation from @SophieH_Li on the influence of active and passive social media use on mood, finding both can alleviate low mood. Challenges assumptions about the harms of social media! #SMHR2023

[Chloe Lim (she/her) @chloe_ys_lim]

Parents are very interested in using medicinal cannabis for their child's behavioural and #mentalhealth but paediatricians are hesitant. We need more research and guidance for clinicians to prescribe and inform parents of the risks and benefits @SMHR #smhr2023

[Jillian Halladay (she/her) @DrJillHalladay]

Incredible plenary by Prof Helen Milroy to start off #SMHR2023 @SMHR

Thinking about what I can do to close the third space & build strong bridges in my work moving forward.

"The fact that HMRI exists here in our community, in the Hunter New England community, means what I do, and the results from all the work and research has an immediate flow-on effect to this community first"
