Young people and their mood and wellbeing

This event has ended.

Rhys will be talking about mood, well-being, and depression in young people - including how low mood or depression might present, possible underlying reasons and approaches to prevent and manage difficulties.

This will be in the context of the young person as well as the families/carers.

He will also discuss a digital programme called 'MoodHwb' to support mood and well-being, which has been developed with young people, families, carers and practitioners at Cardiff University. A trial of the programme is planned soon in Wales and Scotland.

Rhys is a psychiatrist and researcher at the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Section, Department of Psychological Medicine and Clinical Neurosciences, Cardiff University.
