COVID-19 has created significant challenges and uncertainties that have substantial effects on people’s psychological wellbeing and mental health. In this unprecedented time AMHRG researchers have actively responded to COVID-19 by initiating and participating in a range of COVID-19 research projects, conferences and community campaigns. Our research explores the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health and wellbeing, while our community activities support our frontline healthcare workers for their dedication to keeping our community safe.
The pandemic has impacted the world in unprecedented ways. This research topic aims to explore the impact of mindfulness on the maintenance (and even potential improvement) of psychological well-being and mental health in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, 番茄社区 organised a COVID-19 Webinar Series in 2020. On 14 April 2020, Prof Brett McDermott and A/Prof Wendy Li were invited to present COVID-19 Webinar Series Episode 2 to discuss on lessons from mental health disaster research and if the recovery be worse than the pandemic.
Invited by the Department of Mental Health, Ministry of Public Health, Thailand as a featured speaker, A/Prof Wendy Li delivered two presentations at the 19th Annual International Mental Health Conference entitled “Mental Health in the COVID-19 Pandemic”.
Inspired by the social media campaign to buy healthcare workers a coffee during the COVID-19 pandemic, A/Prof Wendy Li worked with the Townsville Chinese Club to initiate the “Shouting Townsville University Hospital Healthcare Heroes a Coffee” campaign.
Invited by the 14th AASP Biennial Conference, co-organized by the Asian Association of Social Psychology (AASP) and the Korean Social and Personality Psychological Association (KSPPA), an AMHRG team present a featured symposium entitled “Social Psychological and Cultural Factors in Maintaining Mental Health in the Time of the COVID-19”.
