Young, Early and Aspiring Child Mental Health Professionals

Young, Early and Aspiring Child Mental Health Professionals (YEAH for IACAPAP) aims to complement existing IACAPAP activities and initiatives, and to provide a largely online-based platform that would allow early career and trainee child and adolescent psychiatrists and allied professionals to network on a continuous basis, share ideas and experiences and build a foundation for stronger professional networks of cooperation into the future.

The establishment of this YEAH aims to boost professional/educational growth and collaboration among young IACAPAP members, with the following objectives:

1. Providing a scientific and academic backbone for young IACAPAP members
2. Providing a common platform to collaborate on clinical and research interests
3. Actively engaging and attracting young colleagues the world over to a hub where they can learn, exchange ideas and explore scientific frontiers with their peers
4. Providing a solid academic platform that can benefit from the mentorship of a global pool of teachers and experts
5. Attracting funding, support and grants for international collaborative projects by young IACAPAP researchers
6. Seeking to create competitive opportunities for research fellowships and/or mentorship for young IACAPAP members for professional development and cross-cultural learning and experiences
