Impact of bushfires on children attending a mental health service
This project is suitable for a Clinical Psychology Masters student and will be co-supervised by Dr Anne Gannoni, CAMHS
Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) is a state-wide tertiary level mental health service for children and young people to 16- 18 years of age. With dedicated funding, CAMHS provided a service to young people and their families impacted by the 2019/2020 fires in the Adelaide Hills and Kangaroo Island regions. In addition, a research project to look at the impact of bushfires on young people referred to the service was also included and data collection, which included routine service data has finished. A University of Adelaide Psychology Master’s student has recently undertaken foundational work to build the literature base and establish the database. In continuing this work, the clinical research project will involve further extending the literature, and completing data analyses, using quantitative and qualitative approaches, based on clinician completed routine service measures and consumer reports.
