🌟 NEW PREPRINT: Adolescent self-diagnosis of mental disorders: An interview study of clinicians’ perspectives (N=16) Concerns over self-diagnosis are increasing, but research is limited. What do clinicians think about this phenomenon, and do they think it impacts therapy? tinyurl.com/4zkz7nyh /1

Too right!🙌 Children with speech and language challenges are TWICE AS LIKELY to be unemployed as an adult. By supporting these children as early as possible, we'd not only reduce their need for mental health services and unemployment benefits, we're also giving them essential skills for life.🌈

How can a neurodivergence taskforce not consider the 1 million children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) in the UK? #DevLangDis

I used my very best am-dram skills in this video because once again those with Developmental Language Disorder were forgotten. #TheForgottenMillion #DevLangDis

Thanks to many people for sharing this! Would be fab if a few more people could fill it in, should only take 10-15mins. Thank you! #DevLangDis #DLD #SLCN #wespeechies #slpeeps

Genuinely googled prenatal mania this week as I seem to be incapable of slowing down work in anticipation of maternity leave and instead seem to be flooring the gas pedal, Thelma and Louise style. Is this a nesting instinct gone haywire or some form of denial that I have less than 5 weeks left??

@bpsofficial.bsky.social would you share our video, made with clinicians and ppl with lived experience, about how mental health practitioners can make therapy more accessible for ppl with Developmental Language Disorder? Made for #childrensmentalhealthweek ! :) youtu.be/Ko6sFea3v0w?...

Wow this has already been viewed over 600 times since it went up this week!! Thanks to everyone who has helped share it far and wide :) #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek

For #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek we’ve made a video for mental health practitioners about Developmental Language Disorder! #DevLangDis affects 7% of ppl, and is over represented in MH settings. We introduce DLD and have tips for making MH support more accessible. Please share! youtu.be/Ko6sFea3v0w?...

As of today we only have two responses from non-English speaking countries. Please share the survey with your international colleagues so that we represent more than just the Anglophone countries. Survey: ucc.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... #DevLangDis #SLPeeps #bskySPEECHIES

Later this week we'll be sharing a video we've made for mental health practitioners covering: What is DLD? How does DLD impact mental health? What are the signs of DLD in a mental health setting? How to adapt mental health sessions for people with DLD? Stay tuned! #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek

Here are some ways that mental health practitioners can support children (and adults!) with DLD to access the content of their sessions better. We'd love to know whether you've tried any of these and how they went! #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek

Its #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek! Myself and Sarah Griffiths have worked together with clinicians, young people with #devlangdis and families to help mental health practitioners to make sessions more accessible for children with Developmental Language Disorder. Here are signs of DLD in MH settings:

Equally glamorous: took part in a pregnancy MEG study at York’s Neuroimaging Centre. One for the baby book - baby’s first neuroimaging study!

Ready for a bad t-shirt themed party. Can’t decide if this is the best or worst t-shirt I have ever bought. Does fit very well over the pregnancy bump!!
