New paper alert 📣 It was such a pleasure to collaborate with fellow early career mental health researchers on this piece imagining the future of #child and #youth #mentalhealth #research. We explore priorities, values & visions for more inclusive, impactful research. Read it here 👇🏽

The evidence is clear that supporting children and young people in the very early stages of life is crucial in preventing ill health in future, including having access to affordable and nutritious food regardless of their background.

Research shows that young people thrive when they have a say in their lives & #Education. Involving them in decisions enhances #engagement, autonomy, and #MentalHealth. Time to move beyond tokenism and truly listen to young voices. #StudentVoice #YouthEmpowerment

Wales’ basic income pilot for care leavers shows how financial security supports mental health. Reduced anxiety, better social connections, and life choices - all from £1,6k a month. A powerful reminder: Stability matters in early adulthood. #MentalHealth #CareLeavers #SocialJustice

I was very close to the awful incident at the #Liverpool victory parade—witnessed it from a distance and still trying to process what I saw. My heart is with those who were injured, their loved ones, and everyone who witnessed the horror up close. Absolutely heartbroken and concerned.

Well that’s me depressed for the weekend. As Glen acidly observes this looks like a pretty transparent effort to shift blame for coming university bankruptcies onto the institutions. Good luck with selling that to whichever MPs are about to lose their constituency’s largest employer.

Fantastic opportunity for early career mental health researchers! I was part of the first cohort of this programme and can’t recommend it enough. Don’t miss the chance to apply! Details 👇🏽

The medicalisation of distress, and possible overdiagnosis of MH conditions needs discussion focused on how best to help people, rather than as route to cut the benefits bill. Elspeth Davies and me in @bmj.com www.bmj.com/content/389/...

Our studies show that blatant dehumanisation towards refugees is highly contingent on ethnic/cultural similarity (ingroup vs outgroup) and the reported reason for their fleeing from a regional war (fear vs human rights violations). www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Day 11 of the #Turkey protests. Tens of thousands of people in #İstanbul gather for the Freedom Rally organised by the opposition.

👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

In other news of crackdowns in #Turkey, Istanbul Bar Association’s president İbrahim Kaboğlu and its board of directors have just been dismissed by a court order at the second hearing of the lawsuit against them.

NEW: Elon Musk’s X has suspended accounts of Turkish opposition groups, suppressing footage of anti-government protests. So, best we share all the footage we can here! This was last night’s massive demo against Erdogan’s government, which follows the arrest of his rival Ekrem İmamoğlu. 🇹🇷 #Turkey

As a response to the mass #Turkey protests, the Radio and Television Supreme Council asked television channels to stop their live broadcasts

In case the impact of gov control over universities on autocratization needs to be any clearer: The university that issued Turkey's would-be opposition pres. candidate just annulled his diploma. Effectively barring his candidacy. That university's rector was installed by the ruling AKP in 2023.

The war has exacted a horrific toll on Gaza’s children. With the announcement of the ceasefire deal, it is imperative that the parties fully adhere to it and allow the necessary level of aid in. Children need lasting peace NOW.

An issue that I, and other #resilience researchers, tirelessly emphasize: "Focusing on resilience as a solution to #mentalhealth crisis risks shifting responsibility for mental health onto those affected, rather than calling out and changing policies and systems contributing to poor mental health."

Pleased to be a part of it and lead a work package to build capacity in communities to tackle health inequalities 👇🏽

Looks like an interesting event 👇🏽

If you're thinking of applying for a Masters in Public Health & have experience of inequality, consider applying for the IMPACT Scholarship at UCL. Happy to answer any questions you have! www.ucl.ac.uk/epidemiology...
