What do parents need to know about where UK teens look for mental health information and support online - our team just wrote a blog on this www.wellatschool.org?view=article

Excited to share a pre-print of the latest paper from the Can We Connect study, where we explore young people’s attitudes towards single session interventions. Despite all the available literature on SSIs, this seems to be the first in-depth, qualitative study! Feedback welcome 👇🏽 osf.io/mz5as

We are looking for new members for our Young Person's Advisory Group - please share to anyone who might be interested (and here's the link to sign up: bit.ly/LAMP-ypag)

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Really interesting review with valuable recommendations to improve co-production and co-design with young people - super relevant to our group’s YPAG work @marialoades.bsky.social @sophiedallison.bsky.social!

Alex Lloyd@dralexlloyd.bsky.social · 2y ago

Excited to share our new review on PPI with young people in mental health research, including recommendations for how to conduct co-production and co-design! We also have a response from two young people with experience of collaborating on mental health research. Link to the paper below

Calling all UK-based parents of teens! Help us explore how and where parents look for help online when they become worried about their teen’s mental health - the findings will help us design our single-session intervention to support parents 💻please email us lamp@bath.ac.uk to take part!
