DESCRIPTION:Theme: *Lifelong Brain Development*\n\nMental Health problems 
 among youth constitutes an area of significant social\, educational\, clin
 ical\, policy and public health concern. Understanding processes and mecha
 nisms that underlie the development of mental health problems during child
 hood and adolescence requires theoretical and methodological integration a
 cross multiple scientific domains\, including developmental science\, neur
 oscience\, genetics\, education and prevention science. The primary focus 
 of this presentation is to examine the relative role of genetic and family
  environmental influences on children’s emotional and behavioural develo
 pment. Specifically\, a complementary array of genetically sensitive and l
 ongitudinal research designs will be employed to examine the role of early
  environmental adversity (e.g. inter-parental conflict\, negative parentin
 g practices) relative to inherited factors in accounting for individual di
 fferences in children’s symptoms of psychopathology (e.g. depression\, a
 ggression\, ADHD). Examples of recent applications of this research to the
  development of evidence-based intervention programmes aimed at reducing p
 sychopathology in the context of high-risk family settings will also be pr
 esented.\n\nGordon is the inaugural Professor of the Psychology of Educati
 on and Mental Health at the University of Cambridge\, having previously he
 ld appointments as the Andrew and Virginia Rudd Chair and Professor of Psy
 chology at the University of Sussex\, the Alexander McMillan Chair and Pro
 fessor of Childhood Studies at the University of Otago in New Zealand\, an
 d Professor of Developmental Psychopathology at Cardiff University. His pr
 imary research interests focus on (1) examining the interplay between fami
 ly relationship dynamics and child-adolescent mental health and developmen
 t\, (2) understanding the interplay between genetic factors\, pre-natal\, 
 post-natal environmental factors and mental health outcomes\, and (3) prom
 oting the development and implementation of evidence-based practice and po
 licy guidelines  aimed at enhancing mental health outcomes for young peopl
 e. Gordon is a member of UKRI-ESRC’s Strategic Advisory Network (SAN)\, 
 a member of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) Methods Advisory Gr
 oup (MAG)\, and an advisor to multiple UK and international government dep
 artments and scientific committees.  \n\nRegister in advance for this meet
