Watch this short video interview below to learn more about Professor Kristy Sanderson's plans for the future of the Mental Health Over the Life Course theme and the theme's research priority areas in mental health. The theme’s priority areas include coastal communities, the mental health of children and young people, across the workforce and jobseekers and NHS and social care staff. In addition, learn more about the theme’s PhD candidates and other early career training opportunities.
“I'll be working across the universities and our partners in the region to develop some great new ideas and explore options for how we can improve the mental health of people in our communities.”
