Dear Colleagues,
Please join us for the inaugural lecture of the International Centre for
Mental Health Social Research <http://www.york.ac.uk/spsw/research/icmhsr/>
at the University of York:
Improving mental health through understanding our social context
Dr Lynette Joubert
<http://www.findanexpert.unimelb.edu.au/display/person1901>, University of
Melbourne
Tuesday 24 June 2014, 6.15pm
Mental health problems affect one in four of us during our lifetime and
present a significant global and economic burden. The rapidly changing and
complex social environments in which we live contribute to our mental
health. Our social environments can simultaneously be the source of the
greatest distress and the greatest support, yet the nature of this
influence is frequently invisible. How can we understand this and can we do
anything about it?
This lecture will explore the available evidence on the contribution of the
social context to our mental health. In addition, Dr Joubert will discuss
recent research that defines and analyses the importance of managing both
risk and opportunity in social networks, to promote emotional
well-being. She will report on a social network intervention CHIERS
(Joubert, Harvey, Spittal, Hill and Pleban 2013) which reduced
representations for deliberate self harm at emergency by 58%, suicide
ideation by 37% and depression by 25%.
