Verité Research

Statistics show that youth mental health has worsened over recent years. Our speaker, Kiara, talks about her research in trying to understand the causes and new types of interventions that could respond to the emerging crisis.

Kiara Wickremasinghe is a Research Fellow at the Centre for Anthropology and Mental Health Research. Her PhD in Anthropology at SOAS University of London focused on Open Dialogue, a social network approach to psychiatric crisis care, as part of an ESRC-funded research project. She also trained and worked as an Open Dialogue practitioner within the NHS.

With a background in geography, music, and anthropology, Kiara is also an opera singer, violinist, and composer. Her current research explores operatic storytelling as a response to Sri Lanka’s youth mental health crisis.
