Black Dog Institute Podcasts for Health Professionals

The second Australian Child and Adolescent survey of Mental Health and Well-Being, released in 2015, reported that around one in 10 teenagers had engaged in some form of self-harm. Many clinicians are finding this reflected in their practices, where presentations of self-harm have become an increasingly familiar response of young people to the way in which they are experiencing their lives.

In February 2017 our Expert Insights panel explored the contexts and meanings that surround youth self-harm as well as sharing strategies that can assist young people to move safely through this challenging life stage.

Panel members:
Gregory Carter - Psychiatrist and Conjoint Professor (Centre for Brain and Mental Health Research)
Johnny Kieran - Senior Clinician and Accredited Mental Health Social Worker
Samuel - Lived Experience Representative
Kaitlin - Lived Experience Representative

Facilitated by: Dr Vered Gordon, Black Dog Institute GP Consultant
Recording and sound production: James Stewart, audioPost
Voiceover: Cameron Banks, Black Dog Institute
