90.5% of young people with diverse gender identities have experienced one or more forms of child maltreatment, including physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, neglect or exposure to domestic violence. A horrifying statistic. #acms @CurtinUni

Proud to be part of the #acms team. Our findings released today show the strong associations between child maltreatment and risk behaviours throughout life including self-harm, suicidal behaviours and substance use. @CurtinUni @CurtinMedia.

As society changes, is it time to change how we screen for depression? With so many adolescents feeling tired and pushing themselves to do schoolwork, should we focus on other indicators? @CPsychResearch | Home

78% of #BlackSummer #bushfires responders were volunteers. Many have not received help for mental health impacts #afterthefires. Australia needs volunteers who aren't at risk of burnout or mental ill-health. Learn more: @uwanews @MESHealthAus @Flinders.
