Biography
Kylie King is a Senior Lecturer at the School of Psychological Sciences at Monash University. She obtained a Doctor of Psychology at Deakin University in 2001 and thereafter worked as a psychologist specialising in addictions. Inspired by the potential for population-level interventions to have impacts on mental health, in 2009 Dr King moved to a research role in the Melbourne School of Population in Global Health at the University of Melbourne. Over the 10 years in that role she gained expertise in program evaluation and in more recent years applied these skills to suicide prevention research, with a focus on males. She completed a PhD in this specialty area in early 2020. In November 2019, Dr King joined the Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health at Monash University as an Impact Fellow and in February 2023 moved to a Senior Lecturer role in the School of Psychologocal Sciences. In this role she is focussed on fostering research connections and collaborations with industry, community, and people with lived-experience. Her research team focus on targeted suicide prevention interventions for communities that experience disproportionate rates of suicide, and suicide prevention education and training.
