Sharing for LEx connections - critical work in the North to create alternate access points for mental health services!

This end of year has been conference season and I love it! ✨

Very keen to be presenting our early conceptual model of systems integration in youth mental health, which centres relationships at its core, at #RCCRoundtable2022 in Boston today.

@StefanMichalski Congrats Stefan!

@Cambridge_Uni bound - I’m in awe of how beautiful this university is. 🇬🇧🎓

Taking in the views today before the start of @JMS_Journal conference. Very keen to be in the presence of management scholars and experts and to present our research from @UniofAdelaide.

We just hit (over) the halfway mark in donations! I can't believe it, thank you everyone for your generosity. Let's bring on Friday! 💪

One week until we test our limits and take on 30km, Victor to Goolwa. Please consider donating! Your generosity will help connect people impacted by mental health w/ immediate support, no matter who they are, where they are, and what they're experiencing.

[Sam Lai @_samlai]

A huge thank you to everyone who has donated to this cause! Let’s continue making a difference in the lives of people impacted by mental health 🥹👏🏻

I'm working on a research project w/ Adelaide Uni and Deakin looking into experiences of landholders affected by compulsory acquisitions in Australia. Please reach out if you're from VIC, have been affected and are interested in speaking to us about your experiences.

@tanyablazewicz @LELAN_SA @SuicidePrevAU We’ve missed your epic live tweeting skills + more, thanks for keeping us informed on today’s event. Welcome back, Tanya!

It feels like a full circle moment when high school students reach out to interview me for their research projects - so cool to see so many young people interested in pursuing mental health research/professions!

[Sam Lai @_samlai]

First conference done! 🥳✨

Very proud to have presented a conceptual paper on responsible management in the youth mental health sector at @PRMESecretariat World Tour Research Development Workshop. Excited to move forward with new and improved ideas for my PhD!

[Sam Lai @_samlai]

It's been a busy few months preparing for Cambridge and other conferences, but happy to say that ethics has been approved! I'm so keen to be getting out from behind my screens and back into community and connecting with young people.

(Watch this space, exciting things to come)

@Mel__Hull @DrAsh_Smith @GerritzenEsther @UniversitySA @CAIN_Lab Go @GerritzenEsther! So proud of you and your accomplishments!

[Sam Lai @_samlai]

@DrAsh_Smith @UniofAdelaide @mindsight_tweet @Sonder_SA Yes, we do! Keen to catch up, let me know when you're next available.

Proud to be published in the latest version of Parity. Co-authored with Dr Tracey Dodd (@UniofAdelaide), @mindsight_tweet & Dr Sarah Fraser (@Sonder_SA), this article speaks to how co-design can be made a reality, instead of an ambition of the youth mental health sector.
