LifeCourse Mental health Consortium
Synopsis
The LifeCourse Mental Health Consortium has been established to better understand complex influences on children’s mental health. Specifically, we aim to:
- Describe how mental health difficulties and competence unfolds from childhood to adulthood, and how this has changed in response to COVID as a recent global disruption; and
- Identify opportunities to improve mental health by elucidating key influences across the world of the child, the world around the child, and the world at large, and how these interact to drive children’s mental health over time.
