This week I had the great opportunity to chat with Dr Haley LaMonica on The University of Sydney’s Brain and Mind Centre Youth Model; a model created to deliver quality mental healthcare to a help-seeking young person.
Dr. Haley M LaMonica is a mid-career researcher and practicing Board Certified Clinical Neuropsychologist. She has 15 years clinical experience across her career lifespan. Dr LaMonica holds a position as a Senior Research Fellow with the Youth Mental Health and Technology Team at the University of Sydney’s Brain and Mind Centre, where she leads the Digital Technology, and Brain and Mind Centre Youth Model research streams to which we chat about in this episode. In this research stream. Her work focuses on the development of effective and clinically relevant digital solutions to improve mental health outcomes as well as the education and training programs necessary to improve the quality of mental health care, including how this can be facilitated through the use of technology.
Excitingly, the next phase involves the co-creation of a young person’s education and training module to equip, empower, and support young people in identifying their rights and expectations for quality mental healthcare.
If you're between the ages of 16-25 you can participate in this co-creation by following the link in the show notes to fill out a 10 minute survey on your personal experience in mental healthcare as a young person (click here).
