Grammar support youth mental health research as partners

Sunshine Coast Grammar School is supporting its students to participate in the Longitudinal Adolescent Brain Study, through a partnership with USC's Sunshine Coast Mind and Neuroscience - Thompson Institute.

To date, 11 Grammar students have joined the study and this figure is set to grow each year.

School principal Maria Woods said Grammar was supporting LABS because the study's findings will "help schools support adolescents during periods of massive brain development".

The school is also supporting the Institute’s Combatting Anxiousness in Learning Minds (CALM) study and Suicide Prevention program through the partnership.
