Dr. Amelia Gulliver

Dr Gulliver is an early career research fellow at the Centre for Mental Health Research, National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health, ANU College of Health & Medicine. Her PhD study investigated mental health and help-seeking in young elite athletes. Dr Gulliver’s research focuses on finding practical solutions to improve mental health in key at-risk population groups. Dr Gulliver’s primary research interests include lived experience research, mental health and help-seeking in young people, and the development, evaluation, and implementation of mental health and suicide prevention programs. Dr Gulliver’s work for the Translational e-Mental Health Research Unit focuses on how to improve engagement with online mental health programs. She has recently completed the development and trial of an Engagement-Facilitation Intervention that was designed to improve uptake and adherence to a self-guided online program for depression and anxiety. Dr Gulliver’s research for ACACIA: The ACT Consumer and Carer Mental Health Research Unit aims to involve people with lived experience of mental health problems as consumers and/or carers in the research process and conduct research relevant to their needs. Recent projects have included a longitudinal study of the COVID-19 lockdown on the mental health of Australians, a pilot trial to evaluate the Music Engagement Program for people living with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, a trial examining the impact of a peer worker-led recovery program in a public mental health service, and a project for Beyond Blue to create a new measure of recovery following a suicide attempt for the Way Back support service. Dr Gulliver is also a CI on a current co-created project to evaluation safe spaces for suicide prevention. Dr Gulliver is also interested in the improvement of mental health in university students. She completed a project funded by the Young and Well Cooperative Research Centre in 2016 to develop a virtual mental health clinic designed specifically for tertiary student populations (The Uni Virtual Clinic). The pilot trial evaluating the feasibility and acceptability of the UVC has been completed. Dr Gulliver is also involved in a trial that commenced in 2020, to investigate the effectiveness of a transdiagnostic online program for university student mental health funded by Australian Rotary Health.
