In this session, Dr Sunderland will address why people get mental health problems, what is their purpose and what the mind is trying to protect you from. In addressing causes, the myths of faulty genes or a chemical imbalance in the brain will be challenged with hard facts.
There will be key focus given to the reason why just focusing on symptom control is not the answer. As Leslie Greenberg (researcher in therapeutic change) says, “Coping mechanisms and transformational change are two totally different enterprises but often meshed together as if they are the same thing. My hope is that somewhere in the future we will have a clear distinction.”
In light of this, Dr Sunderland will explore theories of change, and the research evidencing how people get better from a mental health problem (transformational change/personal development not just symptom alleviation). She will discuss research findings showing actual changes in the brain and body resulting from therapeutic human connection, so that people can go on to enjoy real quality of life.
The presentation will include fascinating case material to illustrate all of the above. In addition, Dr Sunderland will discuss the current movement away from the medical/disease model of mental ill-health to a trauma-informed model. As such, when discussing mental health problems, we refer to people with problems rather than patients with illnesses.

About the ProgrammeA flexible, rolling programme of online lecture presentations - vital CPD in Child & Adolescent Mental Health, co-run by the Centre for Child Mental Health and the Institute for Arts in Therapy and Education (Academic Partner of the University of East London)
Mental health symptoms can cause abject misery, adversely impact on functioning, relating, learning, doing, thinking. Symptoms are sometimes so awful that people take their own lives.
So, these mental health presentations provide key knowledge to alleviate suffering. The presentations will bring you fascinating psychology and neuroscience about the causes of mental health problems coupled with evidence-based roads to recovery. This vital knowledge is all too rarely in the public awareness. Instead, many sufferers and helping professionals alike, spend hours focusing on symptom control rather than addressing the core emotional pain that’s causing the symptoms in the first place.
As a result, far too many children and teenagers don’t get the help they need to have quality of life and to ensure that they have their emotions rather than their emotions having them.
Any child professional and/or parent wanting to help children and teenagers overcome mental health problems.
