Lifestyle therapy offers a holistic approach to improving child mental ill-health.
Our research shows that CALM, our lifestyle program targeting physical activity & diet in adults, is clinically- and cost-effective at reducing depression/anxiety. We will adapt and evaluate the clinical/cost-effectiveness of CALM-Kids, a lifestyle therapeutic program tailored to children for reducing anxiety/depression in children, and work with service providers to embed CALM-Kids into routine care.
This project is funded by an MRFF (NHMRC) Early to Mid-Career Researchers Grant.
