Last week, I attended the 3rd Suicide and Self-harm Early and Mid-Career Researchers‘ (EMCR) Forum in Glasgow, organized by Dr. Rory O’Connor and the Suicidal Behaviour Research Lab. There, I presented a poster of my ongoing study which aims to explore how technology could support young people who self-harm. While the study site is in Vienna, at my host institution, I now temporarily live in London to do a secondment at the Anna Freud Centre.

The first Digital Child Mental Health (DCMH) conference will take place on the 23rd May 2018, hosted by the Anna Freud Centre and TEAM Innovation Training Network in London, UK.

One of the best things could happen to you is that you develop a positive relationship with your work. I think many people struggle with work because their head is either planning the future or sighing about the past.

As part of my PhD project, I explore design solutions for technology enabled interventions promoting resilience in unaccompanied migrant youth (UMY). During my research, I realized more and more how much political regulations impact the living circumstances and thereby the mental wellbeing of the UMY. 

For my PhD, I am conducting (or at least trying to conduct) a clinical trial. That means I am seeing actual patients. Together with my supervisor, I have set an ambitious goal to gather 400 participants. 400 participants in 3 years, seems fair doesn’t it.  But believe me, there is more to it.

Dublin, March 2018. Waking up knowing that you’re doing what you’re keen about, in a place that you love, with nice colleagues, in a friendly environment, being part of a wonderful European network, with the possibility to travel around the world to discuss your ideas and meet new people that do what you do, and supported by a great supervisor, able to put you in the right direction with constructive criticisms.   Lucky enough!
