Her work focuses on the development, and testing, of novel interventions that specifically target at risk youth across settings. She leads a number of studies including the development of the #chatsafe guidelines, the first evidence-based best practice guidelines for safe peer-peer communication about suicide online, a large-scale school-based study operating across north-west Melbourne, and the establishment of a self-harm monitoring program in emergency departments across Victoria. Jo also has a keen interest in policy development and has led the development of two major policy reports and is regularly called upon to provide advice to both state and federal government. @JoRobinson_Aus
