“This is a new quote.”

– Beatrice Shelley
“There are fantastic examples of psychology being used to make real steps forward in the understanding and treatment of mental health disorders. We need talented, dedicated psychologists to help bring about much-needed further change.”
“One of the most enjoyable aspects of my role as a health economist working in mental health research is getting together with experts from a variety of areas, from psychiatrists to statisticians, all of whom are pulling in the same direction, as this leads to the most meaningful discussions and the most insightful research.”
