It's easy to blame social media use for poorer adolescent mental health, but if you asked young people themselves, they'll tell you a different story. We need to make sure we listen to these young people so we can best support them. #CAMH25 #CAMHC25 @anzmha

Some great info on talking to young people about their online habits and algorithm literacy by the @eSafetyOffice #CAMH25 #CAMHC25 @anzmha

Loved this thought-provoking pan-shop on the complex relationship between adolescent #mentalhealth, #technology, and #socialmedia. Young people use technology to foster relationships and build autonomy; we need to support them in this without judgement. #CAMH25 #CAMHC25 @anzmha

A great keynote from A/Prof Campbell Paul about infant mental health to kickoff #CAMH25! "We find it difficult to accept the baby has a mind" and it's hard to fathom how to possibly assess infant #mentalhealth; it's great to see the research being done in this area! @anzmha

Excited to share the 1st book chapter I've contributed to! With case studies and practical examples of how clinicians can use inhibitory learning theory to optimise exposure therapy for children! @wentingchenn @melissaaji @AnnabelSongco @jenlhudson https://t.co/UuJJjzZEZS

@MaddiOgradey is listening to the voices of Australian First Nations children and young people to better understand the impact of mental ill-health. #AACBT24 @AACBT_org_au

Mental health assessments focusing on white-centric anxiety and depression don't capture the nuances of social and emotional wellbeing in First Nations young people. @MaddiOgradey spoke to First Nations youth to better understand SEWB #AACBT24 @AACBT_org_au @blackdoginst

We need to carefully consider frequency & order effects of mental health q's to children to ensure we are not increasing stigma and causing more harm. So proud of @emmamcderm0tt in her first conference presentation! #proudsupervisor #AACBT24 @AACBT_org_au

Brilliant presentation from @emmamcderm0tt at #AACBT24 @AACBT_org_au highlighting the importance of mental health research specifically with children. This work also shows we need to be careful about designing & implementing screening in primary schools @blackdoginst

Australian Rotary Health researcher @melissaaji highlights the importance of helping families to support their child’s night time fears given these fears have the potential to impact on sleep patterns @blackdoginst #AACBT24 @AACBT_org_au

Fantastic presentation by @PeterMcEvoy13 at #AACBT24! Men’s Sheds offer a gendered, community-based approach to older men’s mental health. By fostering psychological safety and mateship, sheds help reduce loneliness, social anxiety, and depression. @AACBT_org_au

Exciting work presented by @chloe_ys_lim! @BlackDogInst have developed an innovative program to train primary school teachers to better identify and support students with anxiety. Promising pilot results show improved teacher self-efficacy! 🧑‍🏫📚 @AACBT_org_au #AACBT24
