Fascinating new research from @tamsinford.bsky.social & colleagues which shows that CYP with psychiatric disorders now face more severe difficulties & functional impacts than in past surveys, "challenging the idea that ^ prevalence stems from over-medicalising mild symptoms" doi.org/10.1111/jcpp...

RESEARCHERS & PRACTITIONERS IN SCHOOL MENTAL HEALTH 🏫📚🧠 to complement the lovely general C&A MH lists from @noraskjerdingstad.bsky.social (go.bsky.app/mJXZrD) & @olademk.bsky.social (go.bsky.app/KSGUBYg) Hoping this will be primarily crowd-sourced, so please tell me who to add: go.bsky.app/5EXucz1

Brilliant evening listening to @lucyfoulkes.bsky.social discuss the value of listening to adolescents: Their youth doesn’t lessen their worth; they’re experts in their own lives. Engaging with them makes our work more relevant and impactful ⭐️

It’s been sad to witness the slow demise of X after joining in 2015 as a college student & now reflecting in 2024 as a PhD student. I’ve effectively grown up online 😅 I’m so grateful for the opportunities & connections I’ve made over the years & hope we can build an even better community here ⛅️

Started another starter pack I wanted to find but couldn't - for people & orgs involved in, supporting & advocating for children & YP's #Participation #YouthVoice & #ChildrensRights. If I've missed one, you want to be added or have suggestions for additions please let me know: go.bsky.app/Rg8BE25

This starter pack for child and adolescent mental health is continuing to grow! It’s wonderful finding people here. Please do let me know if you think there is someone (including you!) that could be added. go.bsky.app/KSGUBYg

Mornin’! Been lurking in the background for a while and thought it was about time that I posted! Quick intro. I am passionate about improving young people’s mental health, and am setting up a mental health research network in schools across England (wisdom.mhid.org.uk). Happy to hear about you all!
