Child and adolescent mental health problems are common and can have serious impacts on wellbeing, relationships, education and long-term health. A public health priority is to reduce the burden associated with mental health problems.
In this seminar, Professor Stephan Collishaw considers five research priorities:
- Understanding reasons for trends in youth mental health
- Understanding trends in outcomes and prognoses for children with mental health problems
- Taking a global perspective particularly regarding child mental health trends in lower- and middle-income countries
- Methodological innovation in trends research
- Lessons learned from research on the impact of COVID-19.
This event will be particularly useful for those interested in child and adolescent mental health.
Please note this is a hybrid event and can be joined either in-person or online.

About the Speaker
Professor Stephan Collishaw
Professor at Cardiff University
His research takes a lifecourse developmental approach to study common mental health problems, including depression and anxiety. He uses prospective population and high-risk cohorts to study the development of mental health problems across childhood, adolescence and into adulthood.
He is interested in protective factors that promote mental health resilience in high-risk children and that optimize long-term outcomes. His research also examines population-level change in young people's mental health, and tests which factors explain the recent increase in youth anxiety and depression.
