Hello & Welcome to the Research Zone podcast, the podcast where we aim to make sense of youth mental health research. 

Today I am joined by Rose McCabe to discuss the Agency Project. We discussed: 

• What is Agency? 
• Why Agency is an important topic, especially in youth mental health services 
• What Rose’s research involved 
• The importance of non verbal communication in therapeutic relationships 
•  ‘What I wish my younger self knew about mental health’ 
• Implications of the research including supporting clinician training, developing resources for young people 
• What young people can do if they aren’t getting along with their clincian
