Jolene’s research applies theories and methods from systems science to advance mental health research. In her ARC DECRA project, she will use psychological and systems approaches to understand how individual-level and systemic factors shape help-seeking behaviour and to design better policy interventions that improve access to support and outcomes for young people.
