We recently launched the PARSEEK study. It is a study that looks at parents’ and young peoples’ mental health literacy. We are currently recruiting parents of teenagers (aged 10-19) to participate (https://bit.ly/PARSEEKstudy).
To coincide with the launch of the study the Youth Mental Health Lab UCD in conjunction with YouLead have organised a series of webinars for parents, teachers and youth workers. The theme of the webinars is supporting young people’s well-being. The talks will run on Monday evenings from 7pm-8pm starting the 26th April.
