It is a field that spans policy makers from multiple sectors, researchers from different disciplines, and practitioners working in health services, schools and communities and encompasses a multitude of health topics and concerns. Despite this, there are few opportunities to come together to share, showcase and build capacity to improve adolescent health and wellbeing in the region.<\/p>\n<p>This seminar series aims to provide opportunities for researchers, policy makers, practitioners, implementers, young advocates \u2013 indeed, anyone interested in the health and wellbeing of adolescents \u2013 to enhance their understanding of adolescent health and wellbeing, with a focus on research.<\/p>\n<p>This series is supported by the\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/adolescentsourfuture.com\/cre-in-global-adolescent-health\/\">Centre of Research Excellence for Driving Global Investment in Adolescent Health<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>Led by a team at the\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/adolescentsourfuture.com\/centre-for-adolescent-health\/\">Centre for Adolescent Health<\/a>, Murdoch Children\u2019s Research Institute, it brings together leading Australian research groups including the University of Melbourne, Burnet Institute, University of New South Wales, University of Queensland, University of South Australia, and the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.rch.org.au\/cah\/2024\/01\/15\/advancing-adolescent-health-in-the-asia-pacific-a-virtual-community-to-share-knowledge-and-support-collaboration\/\">Read more about the series here<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4556 size-medium img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.rch.org.au\/cah\/files\/2024\/01\/new-SS-1-1-400x225.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.rch.org.au\/cah\/files\/2024\/01\/new-SS-1-1-400x225.png 400w, https:\/\/blogs.rch.org.au\/cah\/files\/2024\/01\/new-SS-1-1-600x338.png 600w, https:\/\/blogs.rch.org.au\/cah\/files\/2024\/01\/new-SS-1-1-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.rch.org.au\/cah\/files\/2024\/01\/new-SS-1-1-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.rch.org.au\/cah\/files\/2024\/01\/new-SS-1-1.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this session, Professor Nicola Reavley will outline the global context for adolescent mental health, with a focus on actions outside the health system, including those relevant to social determinants of mental health.
