In 2021, Flinders University delivered a huge 13-week series of Fearless Conversations. Bringing together industry leaders and our researchers, the series fearlessly discussed the challenges that face our world and the opportunities available.
The conversations inspired, informed and advocated for our state in a fearless way – encouraging us to work together to ensure we emerge stronger.
This year and beyond, Fearless Conversations will continue to tackle a broad range of topics, diving deep into areas such as health, science, politics, the arts, our environment and more, in order to shine an uncompromising light on the issues that affect us all.
Episode eight:
Mental Health: Nature vs Nurture
Join us to explore the connection between genetics and environmental factors, such as stress, in mental health outcomes and how we, as a society, could be doing more to reduce the burden on families and communities.
In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, we’ll uncover the current state of knowledge around mental health preventions as well as the response and treatment of people experiencing mental health issues.
Flinders University will be represented by Associate Professor of Psychology Sarah Cohen-Woods. We will also be joined by South Australian Mental Health Commissioners John Mannion and David Kelly, Headspace Program Manager Jessica Morgan, and Executive Manager for Youth Services at Sonder Steven Wright.
The discussion will be facilitated by 7NEWS Journalist and Presenter Mark Soderstrom.
