The SWDTP co-funded a series of three workshops including talks by clinicians and researchers in the field, focus group discussions and young peoples’ perspectives, to open up new research avenues and opportunities for collaboration.
These were led by ADvaNCE (the adolescent depression network to consolidate expertise), a special interest research group which is passionate about reducing depression in young people.
- Summary of workshop one: How can we better identify depression in young people?
- Summary of workshop two: What are the best early interventions for depression? And how early should they be used in order to result in the best patient outcomes?
- Summary of workshop three: – “What are the best ways to tell young people with depression about treatment options and their effectiveness to help them feel more in control and to manage their difficulties?”
The videos below give a great idea about the work they do and you can follow them on Twitter for more updates
