Global Leadership Series: navigating family mental health (in person)
Listen to the event
Families are at the front line when it comes to navigating the mental health and substance abuse issues that impact so many young people.
Meanwhile, the systems designed to support them, their carers, educators and clinicians through these challenges are often difficult to access and are under resourced.
For Queensland Mental Health Week (8–16 October 2022), the next instalment in UQ’s Global Leadership Series will assemble a panel of family health experts to share insights into their research and answer your questions.
