eCliPSE is a research project comprising individuals and organisations working together to realise a joint vision of providing free, 24/7 support for mental health and substance use issues.
There are two researchers who are leading the project: Professor Frances Kay-Lambkin and Professor Maree Teesson.
Professor Frances Kay-Lambkin
Professor Frances Kay-Lambkin is the Institute Director and CEO of the Hunter Medical Research Institute (HMRI) and is the president of the Society of Mental Health Research.
She has worked with people experiencing a range of mental health, alcohol, and other drug use issues. Combined with her warm, bright nature, Professor Kay-Lambkin possesses invaluable knowledge and expertise to deliver effective outcomes.
“I have a personal and professional commitment to, and passion for, supporting people with mental health and substance use issues.”
Professor Maree Teesson
Professor Maree Teesson is the Director of the Matilda Centre for Research in Mental Health and Substance Use, the Director of the National Health and Medical Research Council's Centre of Research Excellence in Prevention and Early Intervention in Mental Illness and Substance Use (PREMISE), and a National Mental Health Commissioner of the NHMRC.
She wants to increase our understanding of substance use and mental health issues, and to help prevent these issues where possible, which includes improving treatment responses.
“I’m passionate about eCliPSE because for the first time, it allows us to get the right care to people at the right time.”
