Sally Hunt Lecture

Dr Sally Hunt is a Clinical Psychologist, Senior Lecturer and Convenor of the Master of Professional Psychology program at the University of Newcastle, Australia where she trains the next generation of Psychologists and Clinical Psychologists. Sally has worked both clinically and in a research capacity in the field of mental health for over 20 years, and completed her PhD in 2015. Sally’s primary research examines the relationship between substance use and mental health disorders, with a focus on developing and disseminating eHealth interventions for these problems. Currently Sally is leading research developing, testing and implementing an online intervention to support women’s health and well-being.

Sally will describe the development and implementation of CIRCUS, an eHealth intervention for women that addresses multiple health behaviours including alcohol use. Drawing on clinical experience she will discuss the role of motivation and insight in willingness to engage with online health tools such as CIRCUS, and ways that we as clinicians and/or researchers can support the uptake of eHealth tools.
