Monica Fooks Memorial Lecture 2025, From the Margins to the Many: Building Mental Health Systems for Generation Alpha
Mina Fazel is Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the University of Oxford and consultant child and adolescent psychiatrist at the Oxford Children’s Hospital. Her research focuses on improving mental health support for vulnerable and hard-to-reach populations, with a particular interest in school-based supports as well as refugee mental health. She leads the OxWell Student Survey, one of the largest school-based mental health surveys in the UK, which has collected responses from over 100,000 students. She will be sharing recent research and insights from this work, carried out with a committed team of researchers working closely with practitioners and policy-makers, all dedicated to understanding the mental health needs of young people, their help-seeking behaviours, and service preferences.
