Researcher coffee catch-up: Do extreme temperatures impact mental health?

About the event

Heatwaves are becoming increasingly common around the world, including in the UK, and are linked to increased psychiatric hospital admissions and suicides.

During this coffee catch-up Dr Joanne Newbury will talk about her work on improving our understanding of the relationship between temperature extremes (e.g., heatwaves) and mental health, including identifying mechanisms and protective/risk factors.

Join People in Health West of England (PHWE) for this researcher coffee catch-up, ask questions, give feedback and engage with research projects happening in your local area.
