Each year, to coincide with the Department of Psychiatry Research Day, the department hosts a public discussion on an important topic for researchers and the local community.

This interactive panel discussion for the public will focus on how we can improve access to interventions and services for young people who are experiencing mental health difficulties. Are we making a difference? What does the future hold?
