I am the odd one out in the team – I am not very sporty but I bring my vital knowledge of the mental health of young people to the project. I am a Research Fellow at the Telethon Kids Institute and my research is focused on the mental health and well being of young people. I work with a range of young people with various mental health concerns and have many years’ experience of research with people in the early stages of psychotic disorder. I am interested in how we can reduce the disability associated with psychosis to help young people recover socially and vocationally.
