@MarcJBryant @MHFA_Australia Looking forward to see where you are able to take this role. Very fortunate to have you there.

New adventure begins - great to meet some of the staff and leadership team (pictured) at Mental Health First Aid International HQ in Melbourne this week - Privileged to join one of the World's largest & successful mental health charities 💯 💚🐨💚 @MHFA_Australia #MHFA

A new, two-part ‘Evidence to Practice’ guide has been developed by Orygen researchers to define wellbeing and what works to improve it. It recommends universal, community-based interventions to enhance wellbeing and strategies for community engagement. 🔗 bit.ly/3TASuy2

The research-practice gap is not just about communication. It's also a problem with the way research is produced and reviewed. This paper suggests we flip the script and embrace participatory approaches for a more relevant and impactful research! 1/

Hope that teachers and teacher organisations in Australia are watching this policy car crash in England in teacher Ed amid a crisis in recruitment & retention there schoolsweek.co.uk/teacher-traini…

@BecCarey76 Hi @BecCarey76 thanks for highlighting this issue but fact: I have helped thousands of beginning Australian teachers across two states learn exactly this since 2012 (?) - although of course you can never do enough!

The elephant in the room: beginning teachers enter the profession without knowing how to support kids with learning difficulties and disabilities, and neurodivergent presentations. Fixing that would go a long way towards sorting behaviour issues. smh.com.au/national/unive…

As a member of the Expert Panel, I’m very pleased our consultation paper for the Aust Gov Review to Inform a Better and Fairer Education System has been released. Check it out and share your views. education.gov.au/review-inform-…

This research on negative framing of teachers &!teaching is even more important theconversation.com/no-wonder-no-o… in light of a grim tide of negative stories about teaching and teachers in the Australian media over last 24hours.

My thoughts on the Strong Beginnings report. @ConversationEDU theconversation.com/teaching-degre…

Deb Hayes @DrDebHayes on TEEP: While the panel is strong on what teacher educators at universities should do, it almost completely avoids the responsibility of governments and systems of education to improve the quality of the experience of graduates. smh.com.au/education/poli…

NEW PAPER: An Exploratory Domain Analysis of Deployment Risks and Protective Features and their association to Mental Health, Cognitive Functioning and Job Performance in Military Personnel Huge effort (k = 314) led by @monique_crane! post-print -> bit.ly/3NCb5oC

Umbrella paper of 97 reviews on exercising for depression / anxiety / stress concludes that 1⃣"physical activity is highly beneficial [...] & should be a mainstay approach" although they show that 2⃣77/97 reviews were rated as "critically low confidence" based on AMSTAR.

@MarcJBryant @LivingWorksAus Great to catch up Marc and looking forward to the opportunity to collaborate further next year. There is so much potential to build innovation in the tertiary and schooling context.

Lovely to catch up with an ex leadership colleague from previous gig & discuss @LivingWorksAus safeTALK in university settings, today Tks @gavin_hazel & gr8 to hear about yr 12 days at sea with the Navy all in the name of mental health research🤣 Shame about the location👇

It is with great sadness that we advise that Professor George Patton passed away on the 7 Dec 22. Prof George Patton was an eminent Adolescent Psychiatrist & Psychiatric Epidemiologist whose career focused on improving the health of adolescents, in Australia & across the globe.

Latest @aihw data update 👇 "Males aged 15–24 who died by #suicide had highest proportion of not accessing services in their last year of life (19%)". Need a network of touchpoints to reach-in to these young males Learn skills, learn safety connections @LifelineAust

@MarcJBryant @Milliganreports Yes looked at retention and career of beginning teaches in the first five years. Trying to understand what helped them stay and why the were thinking of leaving.

@Milliganreports Ping @gavin_hazel - didn't you do some research circa 2019/20 that many dropped out of teaching shortly after leaving their teacher-training ?

It’s so disturbing that kids in schools aren’t getting the teaching they need and deserve because of teacher shortages. #4Corners
