Early career researcher workshop THRIVE: Improving Child and Adolescent Mental Health
Twenty-six per cent of the Thai population is under the age of 18 and an estimated 37.6% of children and adolescents suffer from a mental disorder. Evidence has shown that mental disorders experienced during this time negatively affect educational attainment, physical health and social integration. These disadvantages continue into adulthood and are linked to substantial social and economic burden. To address this issue, the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience (IoPPN), Kingâs College London and Thammasat University, supported by British Council and the Newton Fund, are jointly running a five-day research workshop on child and adolescent mental health. Through this workshop early career researchers from the UK and Thailand will have the opportunity to:
- Develop research proposals addressing key priorities for child and adolescent mental health in Thailand
- Work closely with other future research leaders and with the potential for long-term collaboration
- Build a core set of essential skills to be integrated into their current working practices to improve the way they develop projects, apply for funding and implement interventions
The full cost of attendance will be covered for all successful applicants including:
- Transport to Bangkok (originating from the UK or Thailand only)
- Visa fees and travel insurance
- Accommodation for the duration of the workshop
- Local transport from accommodation to workshop events
- Meals and refreshments during workshop events
Contributors include
Dr Tatiana Taylor Salisbury - IoPPN, UK
Prof Martin Prince - IoPPN, UK
Dr Mark Jordans - IoPPN, UK and War Child, the Netherlands
Dr Supara Chaopricha - Thammasat University, Thailand
Dr Tawanchai Jirapramukpitak - Thammasat University, Thailand
