Description
Check out this video to watch the Creating Community-Led Strategies for Youth Mental Health.
It is estimated that it takes more than 17 years to translate research into practice. Typical Western paradigms for research and innovation starts with funding and ends with community spread through translation studies. This talk will highlight a compendium of research in youth mental health innovations that aim to reduce the research to practice gap through community grounded interventions and implementation solutions. The work presented represents several large public mental health systems, decades of community partnership, and service to the field of youth mental health. Discussion, questions, and criticisms are highly encouraged throughout the presentation.
If you are able to join us in person, there will be a reception with light appetizers following the presentation.
