Dublin - Event Notice
Thursday January 01 1970 Public Forum: Time to Act on Youth Mental Health
Free Gathering with International Speakers
The National Centre for Youth Mental Health, in association with the School of Psychology University College Dublin Presents: Public Forum: Time to Act on Youth Mental Health
On Tuesday 20th June 2006 at 7.30 pm, Theatre L, Newman Building, University College Dublin??Why?
Mental health issues are the number one health concern of adolescents and young adults. The earlier help is given, the better the outcome. There are proven models that produce excellent outcomes for this age group. Yet, young people in Ireland with mental health problems rarely get timely, appropriate and effective help. It is time to act. What?
The Forum will outline the compelling evidence that it is possible to provide young people with excellent mental health care and will present an opportunity for members of the general public to share their perspectives and experiences. Centrally, the forum aims to identify key actions that can be taken in the near term to ensure more young people in Ireland who need help with their mental health can access it.
?Who?
The Keynote speaker is Prof. Pat McGorry, perhaps the world’s most respected and influential pioneer of youth mental health services. Originally from Ireland, Prof. McGorry is Executive Director of ORYGEN Youth Health in Melbourne, an innovative mental health service that is noted for its multi-disciplinary approach, commitment to early intervention and deep involvement of young people and their families in service delivery. In particular, Prof. McGorry has developed the world's leading model for the treatment of young people with their first episode of psychosis.
How the international perspective on youth mental health relates to the experience of young people will be explored by:
Tim O’Malley TD, Minister of State with responsibility for Mental Health??Dr. Tony Bates, Executive Director, National Centre for Youth Mental Health??Dan Hayden, Incoming President, UCD Student's Union. Sinead Corcoran, Student, UCD
However, the most important contributions will come from the members of the general public who attend the event. For this reason all are welcome and admission is free. No bookings are necessary. ??For more information phone 01-7168410

Jump To Comment: 1I attended the forum lastnight at ucd and found it excellent and very informative.
Unfortunatly however the fact that the Health Minister couldn't / wouldn't attend was dissapointing as many valid issues wer'e risen by the audience inc. peoples own stories of depression/emotional health thus the fact that more needs to be done ie services provided for the young and older generation.
As a daughter of a Mother who's been disagnosed with by -polar i have become more aware of the issues and tend to notice how many people are really suffering, ' some feeling isolated and ignored even ashamed.
I believe education is they key ''maybe not resolving the issues but to make particularlly the young aware and help them feel at ease in knowing help is out there and shame should not be felt''. Make it part of the curriculum to discuss these matters, introducing people with experience of same.
There's a lot to do and the list is possibly non exhaustive when it comes to improving services, helping those in need and public awareness..
In my opinion i feel that Doctors/Psys in SOME cases advise and diagnose in the wrong when it comes to mental health in people.
For instance 'people experiencing menopause in their fifties or even late fourties' may feel they cannot cope and experience great despair.. Are they being told their suffering from depression and putting a name to it, giving medication to balance the brain cells.. Maybe i am far wrong but depression seems too commom in todays society, a high number relating to adults of those at menopausal age. In the young emotions/emotional wellbeing.. As raised by an individual in the audience it is emotional problems they experience and depression wrongy diagnosed in many cases. There's lack of undertanding or is it the lack of those extra qualifications needed to deal with people in these situations.
