Professor Mina Fazel is Chair of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry at the University of Oxford, affiliated with the Department of Children's Psychological Medicine at Oxford Children's Hospital. Her work bridges clinical practice and research, focusing on school-based mental health interventions and refugee mental health. She leads the OxWell Student Survey, a landmark initiative analyzing mental health needs across over 40,000 students in 180 schools. Her research explores barriers to mental health service access, ethical challenges in school mental health provision, and neurodivergent communities' needs.
Education and clinical training details are not explicitly stated, but her clinical role as a Consultant in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry underlines her expertise. Research interests include adolescent digital behavior, refugee mental health epidemiology, and intergenerational adversity. Collaborations with the Oxford Refugee Health Initiative and Team Intervene highlight her interdisciplinary approach.
Publications emphasize school-based interventions, refugee mental health, and adolescent well-being. Notable work includes the Lancet Psychiatry series on school mental health and the ATTUNE project on adversities in neurodivergent populations. No explicit awards are listed, but her leadership in large-scale initiatives underscores her impact. Grants and funding details are absent, though her involvement with the Oxford and Thames Valley ARC suggests active research funding.
Labs/teams include the Child & Adolescent Psychiatry research group and collaborations with the Ethox Centre for ethical inquiries. Future work includes expanding the OxWell survey (next round Feb-March 2025) and advancing Narrative Exposure Therapy for PTSD in refugee children.
