Joanne Beames

Black Dog Institute, University of New South Wales

Dr Beames is a Black Puppy Postdoctoral Research Fellow and psychologist. In 2019, after completing the combined PhD/Clinical Psychology Master’s degree at the University of New South Wales, she joined the Future Proofing Research Team at the Black Dog Institute.

Joanne is currently investigating the implementation of evidence-based e-health technology to prevent anxiety and depression in young people. Her work aims to understand and improve the implementation of these technologies at scale within the school environment. Identifying the factors that influence implementation will help to improve the reach, uptake, and effectiveness of psychological interventions in schools, and therefore improve outcomes for young people.
