Why sleep is at the core of children's mental health - Mind the Kids podcast

[gentle music] We are the Association for Child and Adolescent Mental Health, or ACAMH for short, and this is ACAMH Learn.

Welcome to Mind the Kids, a podcast series dedicated to exploring the latest advancements in child and adolescent mental health research and practice.

I'm Clara, an academic clinical fellow in child psychiatry, and I'm passionate about understanding and addressing the diverse mental health challenges faced by young people globally.

In this series, I'm joined by renowned researchers and clinicians from around the world to discuss their cutting-edge research, their interventions, and best practice in child and adolescent mental health.

And today, I have the pleasure of receiving Alina Marinca.

Alina is a PhD student at the Unit of Psychological Medicine at the Queen Mary University of London, and she's also a clinical psychologist by background.

Her research is funded by the London Interdisciplinary School Sci- School of Science Doctoral Training Partnership.

And today, we're gonna be discussing her paper published at JCPP called "Sleep disturbance as a transdiagnostic marker of children's mental health difficulties: a network analysis." So Alina, it's a huge pleasure to have you here today.

Uh, thank you so much for coming.

Thank you so much, Clara, for such a great introduction, and, um, I'm so happy to be here, and, um, to share with you from my insights about our paper.
