“It doesn’t have to be a really big intervention. Often it’s these smaller changes that make a big difference.”

In this episode, Dr Marlena Klaic, senior research fellow in implementation science at the University of Melbourne, decodes some of the common attitudes and behaviours health professionals express about digital mental health, from an implementation science lens. This conversation will give you lots of great insights into some of the barriers that you might experience yourself when it comes to using digital mental health – and the steps to overcome them.
