澳洲墨尔本大学博士后职位—儿童心理健康素养与行动

Research Fellow in Child Mental Health Literacy and Action

University of Melbourne

Description

The Centre for Mental Health aims to improve mental health and mitigate the impact of mental illness at a population level. It does this through high quality, collaborative, interdisciplinary research, academic teaching, professional and community education, and mental health system development.

About the Role A post-doctoral researcher is required to work on projects funded by a Million Minds Mission Mental Health Research Grant for ‘Growing Minds Australia (GMA): A National Trials Strategy to Transform Child and Youth Mental Health Services’. GMA is supporting two flagship studies conducted under the direction of its Mental Health Literacy, Action and Stigma sub- committee. The first of these studies is a national survey to benchmark levels of mental health literacy and action strategies in parents, youth (from 12 years) and teachers. The second is a trial examining the efficacy of Mental Health First Aid training delivered in primary schools to teachers and parents.

In a typical week at work, you may:

  Design measures for parents’ teachers’ and health professionals’ to test their child mental health literacy and child mental health first aid intentions and behaviours in collaboration with GMA investigators

  Submit ethics applications

  Collect validation data across a range of settings
