Youth detention can compound mental health problems but may also provide opportunities to identify and initiate treatment for undiagnosed health problems. The available evidence suggests that long-term health outcomes for justice-involved young people are typically poor.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">This <em>Catalysing Connections<\/em> event involved a panel discussion with thought leaders in criminal justice, adolescent health, human rights law, youth services, and research.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"color: #a22986\"><strong>PANELLISTS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Prof Stuart Kinner, <\/strong><em>Head, Justice Health Group, Centre for Adolescent Health, MCRI and University of Melbourne<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Ruth Barson, <\/strong><em>Legal Director, Human Rights Law Centre <\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Liana Buchanan, <\/strong><em>Princip<\/em><em>al Commissioner for Children and Young People<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Andrew Bruun, <\/strong><em>Chief Executive Officer, Youth Support and Advocacy Service (YSAS)<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Dr Mick Creati, <\/strong><em>Senior Fellow, Royal Australian College of Physicians<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #a22986\"><strong>MODERATED BY<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><em><strong>Elise Worthington<\/strong>, Investigative Reporter ABC TV<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This event was supported by funding from the Geoff and Helen Handbury Family Trust.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #a22986\"><strong>WATCH THE VIDEO<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/371823138?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #a22986\"><strong>MORE INFORMATION<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Professor Stuart Kinner is an NHMRC Senior Research Fellow who also holds honorary appointments at the University of Melbourne, Monash University, University of Queensland, and Griffith University.
