Eleanor Chatburn

We need more support for nurses, AHPs and practitioner psychologists wanting to follow a clinical academic career, so it was great to join this event from @oxhealthbrc.bsky.social and to share my experiences of networking building and peer collaborations.

⚠️ What impact are social media influencers having on youth mental health?

⚠️ Why do young people describe some online mental health content as “dangerous”?

⚠️ What do they actually want from adults communicating in digital spaces?

Sad to miss the gathering this year but I hope you all have an amazing time!

Fantastic news *just in* from @resetproject.bsky.social that a targeted prevention intervention delivered in schools in low socio-economic areas reduced psychopathology 1 year later - a moderate but robust effect with high acceptability & low attrition. Check out @thementalelf.bsky.social ⬇️for more!

Excited to be in London today to hear the results of the #ReSETMentalHealth targeted prevention trial in UK schools!

This really is the definition is late breaking!

Is CBT equally effective across all mental disorders?

This unified meta-analysis looked at 375 RCTs & nearly 33,000 people with 11 different diagnoses.

I have some clinical experience of this: an autistic girl whose neurodiverse friendship group reportedly became 'obsessed' with role-playing therapist/patient at school and would also 'compete' over who was most 'mentally unwell'). But anecdotes don't=data; as ever, more research needed!

Ha I think you tagged the wrong Eleanor here ;-)

The perfect person to speak about this @lucyfoulkes.bsky.social is @marialoades.bsky.social who I think I recall recently ran a neat study that looked at exactly this issue.

Really excited to share the launch of this #Addiction #Research and Practice Special Interest Group! Check out the below webpage for details about upcoming sessions & recommended addiction reading and resources. 👇

Thank you so much Lucy, that would be wonderful 🙏

Lots of debate about the potential harms of universal school interventions but we've barely scratched the surface of considering what this might look like in low-resource settings where mental health support outside of schools may not exist. Anyone researching these issues, please do connect!

Lots more to ponder on this idea for sure! (Lucy, do you happen to have a contact email for the event please? The registration link on that page and in the programme is broken)

Our Peer Coaching programme for #mentalhealth #researchers gives you the skills to identify and reflect on your own (and others') career challenges, and the tools to develop the right solutions & new perspectives.
