Personal Statement:
Panos has published extensively on the impact of trauma on child mental health, evaluation of interventions and services for traumatized children, including those living in conflict settings. Other research includes school mental health and service evaluation. He has longstanding clinical experience as child psychiatrist with vulnerable children, young people and families, i.e. in care, homeless, adopted, refugees, and young offenders.
