Helen Margaret Stallman is an Australian scientist, clinical psychologist and author. She is director of the International Association of University Health and Wellbeing. [1]
Stallman earned a bachelor's degree in science at the University of Southern Queensland, a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) degree at James Cook University, a Doctor of Clinical Psychology degree at the University of Queensland, a Doctor of Philosophy degree at the University of Queensland and a Certificate in Medical Education at the University of Queensland. [2] She graduated with her daughter, Monique, in 2012. [3]
Stallman is the founding director of the International Association of University Health and Wellbeing. [4] She led the developed the first online program to support university student health and wellbeing, thedesk [5] and a tool to obtain valid metrics of student learning outcomes while linking them with just-in-time supports, The Learning Thermometer. [6] This was a revolutionary move away from unreliable student satisfaction surveys measures of student success and staff performance.
Stallman developed the world's first consumer-centred approach to supporting people who were upset or who had suicidal thoughts, Care Collaborate Connect. [7] [8]
The health theory of coping overcame limitations of previous coping theories by designating categories that were conceptually clear, mutually exclusive, comprehensive, functionally homogenous, functionally distinct, generative and flexible. [9] Its major differences are that it recognises that all coping reactions as being adaptive and functional that may initially reduce distress. Coping strategies are classified as either healthy or unhealthy, depending on their likelihood of additional adverse consequences.
Stallman led a series of studies understanding the science of sleepwalking including the prevalence, [10] treatments, [11] medication-induced sleepwalking [12] and violence during sleepwalking. [13] Stallman summarised guidelines for the assessment and treatment of sleepwalking in general practice [14]
The University of Queensland is a public research university located primarily in Brisbane, the capital city of the Australian state of Queensland. Founded in 1909 by the Queensland parliament, UQ is one of the six sandstone universities, an informal designation of the oldest university in each state. UQ is also a founding member of edX, Australia's leading Group of Eight and the international research-intensive Association of Pacific Rim Universities.
Sleepwalking, also known as somnambulism or noctambulism, is a phenomenon of combined sleep and wakefulness. It is classified as a sleep disorder belonging to the parasomnia family. It occurs during slow wave stage of sleep, in a state of low consciousness, with performance of activities that are usually performed during a state of full consciousness. These activities can be as benign as talking, sitting up in bed, walking to a bathroom, consuming food, and cleaning, or as hazardous as cooking, driving a motor vehicle, violent gestures and grabbing at hallucinated objects.
Riversleigh World Heritage Area is Australia's most famous fossil location, recognised for the series of well preserved fossils deposited from the Late Oligocene to more recent geological periods. The fossiliferous limestone system is located near the Gregory River in the north-west of Queensland, an environment that was once a very wet rainforest that became more arid as the Gondwanan land masses separated and the Australian continent moved north. The approximately 100 square kilometres (39 sq mi) area has fossil remains of ancient mammals, birds, and reptiles of the Oligocene and Miocene ages, many of which were discovered and are only known from the Riversleigh area; the species that have occurred there are known as the Riversleigh fauna.
Coping refers to conscious strategies used to reduce unpleasant emotions. Coping strategies can be cognitions or behaviors and can be individual or social. To cope is to deal with and overcome struggles and difficulties in life. It is a way for people to maintain their mental and emotional well-being. Everybody has ways of handling difficult events that occur in life, and that is what it means to cope. Coping can be healthy and productive, or destructive and unhealthy. It is recommended that an individual cope in ways that will be beneficial and healthy. "Managing your stress well can help you feel better physically and psychologically and it can impact your ability to perform your best."
Wuerhosaurus is a genus of stegosaurid dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous Period of China and Mongolia. As such, it was one of the last genera of stegosaurians known to have existed.

The University of Queensland Library provides library access to students of the University of Queensland in Brisbane. It developed from a small provincial university library into a major research library. It was first housed in the Old Government House building of George Street from 1911 to 1923. From 1923 to 1948, it was housed in the Art Block of the Central Technical College in George Street, next to the university. In late 1948, the library moved to the new St Lucia campus, residing in the Duhig Building. By 1954, it had already exceeded its capacity.
Triple P is a parenting intervention with the main goals of increasing the knowledge, skills, and confidence of parents and reducing the prevalence of mental health, emotional, and behavioral problems in children and adolescents. The program was originally specifically tailored for at risk children and parents, but there are now different levels of Triple P designed to work together as a broad, universal, public health approach. This program is based on principles of community psychology.

Coping planning is an approach to supporting people who are distressed. It is part of a biopsychosocial approach to mental health and well-being that comprises healthy environments, responsive parenting, belonging, healthy activities, coping, psychological resilience and treatment of illness. Coping planning normalises distress as a universal human experience. It draws on a health-focused approach to coping, to improve emotion regulation and decrease the memory of unpleasant emotions. Coping planning interventions are effective when people are supported in the process of forming coping plans.

The Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence for Plant Success in Nature and Agriculture is a research centre that combines plant science, mathematics, genetics, agriculture, and law to learn more about what makes plants successful in different environments. The Centre aims to develop new, more effective ways of solving persistent problems in plant science by predicting and improving plant performance in diverse environments. Using quantitative and computational methods the Centre for Plant Success will link gene networks with traits to help address the problems of food security and climate change.
