About ths seminar
The demand for effective interventions for mental health problems in children and young people far exceeds supply. In this talk, Professor Creswell will use the example of child anxiety problems to illustrate how we have built on developmental clinical psychology research to innovate in ways that has increased access to effective psychological treatment.
This journey has taken us from underpinning work that highlighted the huge potential that comes from empowering parents and carers to support their children, to co-production of digitally augmented approaches, and then to systematic evaluation of clinical outcomes, cost-effectiveness, and implementation. She will highlight how this innovation pathway has helped us deliver treatments which we hope will continue to help families to get effective support when they first need it.
The seminar will be charied by Professor Richard Meiser-Stedman, Professor in Child Clinical Psychology at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience at King's College London.
