Tools for Evaluating Mental Health and Well-being

Professor Louise Rowling
President, International Alliance of Child and Adolescent Mental Health and Schools (Intercamhs)

This workshop will explore some techniques and approaches to evaluate student mental health and wellbeing. Overall conceptualisation of interventions will be addressed through program logic models and distinguishing between evidence based practice and practice based evidence priorities. Attention will be paid to the importance of ongoing decision-making about the evaluation and the needs of stakeholders. Participation in the workshop requires working in groups to practise applying a technique to particular circumstances that the groups select.
