Adolescent Mental Health Resilience After Childhood Adversity

The Association for Child and Adolescent Mental Health (ACAMH) invites you to a free talk on ‘Adolescent Mental Health Resilience After Childhood Adversity’.  This will be held on Friday 20th March 2020, from 2.00pm - 4.00pm, in the O’Flanagan Lecture Theatre, Royal College of Surgeons Ireland, York Street, St Stephens Green, Dublin 2.  In this talk, the speaker (Dr Anne-Laura van Harmelen) will argue that resilient functioning is not facilitated by any single ‘resilience biomarker’, but is a product of complex processes and influences across multiple levels; ranging from ‘bottom-up’ neurobiological influences, to ‘top-down’ supportive social influences.  This event is being organised by ACAMH’s Early Intervention in Youth Mental Health Special Interest Group, and is co-hosted by the Youth and Student Mental Health Special Interest Group of the College of Psychiatrists of Ireland.  Book a place at: https://www.acamh.org/event/ei-sig
