The Neuroscientist Working To Prevent Suicide In Teenagers - Anne - Laura Van Harmelen

University of Cambridge

The neuroscientist working to understand and prevent suicide in teenagers. We talk to Dr Anne-Laura van Harmelen, a neuroscientist, who became fascinated by the brain as a teenager, after her dad gave her a copy of Oliver Sacks’ The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat. Today she’s investigating adversity and resilience and is part of an international collaboration working to understand, and ultimately prevent, suicidal thoughts and behaviours in teenagers. https://www.riskandresiliencegroup.uk/ https://twitter.com/ProjectHOPES https://twitter.com/DrAnneLaura
