Adolescent Mental Health Seminar

Professor Patrick McGorry: Practical tools to keep your adolescents safe and well.

The Pastoral Care team and Shore Parents’ Association warmly invites parents to an important Seminar with a special guest speaker, Professor Patrick McGorry. 

In collaboration with the Shore Parents Association, we are thrilled to announce our upcoming parent seminar featuring Professor Patrick McGorry, a distinguished Psychiatrist and Professor of Youth Mental Health at the University of Melbourne. Professor McGorry also serves as the Director of Orygen Youth Health, and he has been the recipient of numerous prestigious awards. These accolades include the Australian Government Centenary Medal in 2003, the Founders’ Medal of the Australian Society for Psychiatric Research in 2001, and the honour of being named the Australian of the Year in 2010. 

The seminar’s primary focus will be on Adolescent Mental Health, and we extend a warm invitation to parents of boys in Years 5 to 12 to join us for this event. It’s a unique opportunity to gain insights from this exceptional industry-leading professional in the field of mental health. 

At Shore, we are deeply committed to working with our parents and the broader school community to provide the best possible care and support to our boys. Our goal is to equip them with the resilience they need to thrive, not only during their time at school but also in their lives after School. 

Our Pastoral Care team is delighted to host Professor McGorry as part of our proactive approach to caring for the wellbeing of our students and providing them with evidence-based interventions and pastoral care. 

Professor McGorry is a globally renowned clinician, researcher, and advocate in the domains of early intervention and youth mental health. His contributions have been instrumental in the development of safe, effective treatments and pioneering research dedicated to addressing the unique needs of young individuals with emerging mental disorders.
