🚨 Detention, disused barracks, budget hotels… New systematic review finds that unsafe & unsupported housing for people seeking asylum is harming mental health. 🔍 Poor hygiene, overcrowding, lack of autonomy & fear were all linked to anxiety, PTSD, depression & more. #MentalHealth #Asylum #Housing

A note for sports: Bluesky’s engagement rate was x10 higher than X’s across a sampling of identical posts made on both platforms by @rapsheet.bsky.social (sharing with permission) Fwiw we see a similar trend across all communities, not just sports. Real people, real conversations.

Read @POCOG1's post sharing a new study exploring #BrainTumour related personality and behaviour change in adults with #BTSM - it is not much talked about and carers and families are dealing with it as best they can. #SuppOnc #PsyOnc www.linkedin.com/posts/psycho...

🚨New paper🚨 We identified how #carers & #HCP define & describe #BTSM #BrainTumour related personality & behaviour changes. They are nuanced & complex. Grief, isolation & safety concerns are experienced by carers. #Aggression is a major concern. There is work to do link.springer.com/10.1007/s005...

In this #RCT we found people with #BrainTumour who did 6-week memory program felt better about their memory and how they used memory strategies, and these improvements lasted even after the program ended. #BTSM @sydney.edu.au academic.oup.com/noa/article/...
