"Police studying adolescent health? I’d like to see that!"

“Police studying adolescent health?  I’d like to see that!”   Watch the 3 minute video for a glimpse of how powerful this can be.

The second Lancet Commission on Adolescent Health and Wellbeing is a call to action, with the headline: “The investments made in this generation of adolescents will determine our human and planetary futures, for good or for ill’. A key message is that investments across adolescence - ie, the period between age 10 years and 24 years – will reap a triple dividend with benefits for young people today, for the adults they will become and for the next generation of children whom they will parent.

Another key messages is that “Multi sectoral actions on mental health, nutrition, sexual and reproductive health and violence are required.”

The Centre for Adolescent Health is proud to teach postgraduate courses in Adolescent Health and Wellbeing for those working across health, education, civic and justice sectors, in the settings where young people live, work and play.  Our postgrads explain that the cross professional learning with their peers is a game-changer.
