New article alert 📣 ‼️ @3s_yp study - invaluable co-production with young people @YoungMindsUK - high rates of self-harm in our sample serve as an important reminder for increased investment in prevention and early intervention services for those at risk journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

“We are very clear that research inclusion is essential—not political. If your research isn’t representative, it’s not going to improve outcomes across our population… This isn’t just moral; it’s scientific and economic.” - Our CEO @LucyChappell2 on the importance of inclusion in research from her interview with @Voa1234 for @bmj_latest Read and watch it here: bmj.com/content/389/bm…

📢Just out!! New paper from the RE-STAR team ... acamh.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jc…

Six changes we’re asking the Government to make to young people’s mental health services... 1/ All services to run to age 25, not 18 – removing the hard barrier between child and adult services 2/Have an open-access early support hub in every community, where young people can walk in and get the support they need, without needing an appointment 3/ Make care personalised and give young people more say over their treatment, instead of a one-size-fits-all approach 4/ Improve connection between services like schools, GP, social services, SEND support services 5/ Reduce NHS waiting times to a maximum of 4 weeks 6/ Better support for mental health professionals These changes are just the start. Our mental health services need a massive overhaul, and we’ve got plenty of suggestions on how to make that happen. We’re ready to talk in more detail @Keir_Starmer.

New research led by @rina_dutta at @KingsIoPPN has found high levels of problematic mobile phone use, disturbed sleep, and self-harm among young people with mental health conditions. Funded by us & @The_MRC, the study is out today in @PLOSONE bit.ly/3wJkeaE
