Pleased to welcome Professor @PatMcGorry AO to NYC for the launch of @TheLancet Psychiatry Commission's report on youth mental health.
Leaning into research from organisations like @orygen_aus is vital to ensure we remain connected to the issues faced by young people today.

Research with impact.
That's our goal, and it's a key theme of a new video series spotlighting Orygen’s work.
In this first video, meet our Eating Disorders team – whose work aims to unlock new approaches in the field.

Blanket bans on social media for young people is the wrong move. This takes rights away from young people, cuts them off from a core part of their social world and identity, and misdirects the rightful blame on social media giants.

Wonderful to see our VR program showcased on @9NewsMelb – as Orygen researcher @imo_bell puts it, this innovative treatment is on track to play a leading role in "addressing the gaps in care for young people".

"Improving those algorithms, improving community guidelines is, I think, the more important solution.”
Amelia, an Orygen Youth Advisory Council member, and @PatMcGorry contribute to this article on why blunt social media bans aren't the answer to the youth mental health crisis.

A very important point, relevant to many marginalised young people, that a *very* large amount of Australian mental health experts are also saying.
Hopefully a perspective that gets more attention amid this rush to bans.
