Our study protocol was published today which outlines how we set up drop-in mental health services at paediatric hospitals. It's been a exciting project working with wonderful teams across the country. Findings coming soon! journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

UCL Humma Andleeb 🍉 Annie Gaule Alex Lloyd The ReSET Project Kate Merritt Anna Roach poses a question: we have lots of great evidence-based mental health treatments for children and young people so why do mental health difficulties continue to increase? What role do low intensity interventions have in closing the evidence-practice gap?

Does #mentalhealthresearch affect the wellbeing of those that carry out the work? Help us shed light on the strengths and challenges of working in this space by taking part in our #researchengland survey. Donations to Mind. app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/socs/academi…

Paper of the week🌟! This CSI Palliative Care CYP Research in Palliative Care paper led by @CSI_linguist advances understandings of how children describe and make sense of their own conditions. Using discourse methods enabled us to identify ways to help clinicians to 'do' child centredness journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/02…

💚 Have you heard about The Lucy Project? 💚

It helps young people with mild to moderate psychological difficulties which are related to their physical health condition– such as anxiety, low mood or difficulties accessing health procedures.

#ChildrensMentalHealthWeek

Listening and validating their feelings is one of the most valuable ways to support a young person. #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek

Hosted by the wonderful Becky and Emily working on our Low Intensity CBT, self-referral pathway for young people with physical health conditions - The Lucy Project

#cbt #Paediatrics #SuperSaturday

#PPI is central to ensuring that research meets the needs of our stakeholders, but there is currently no structured guidance on how to best involve children. Anna Roach, Debbie Braybrook (she/her) & Steve Marshall reflect on developing a Young Persons Advisory Group: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

The Lucy Project has set up mental health drop in services at paediatric hospitals for CYP with long term conditions. This paper with first author Anna Roach explores how staff were trained to deliver low intensity CBT as part of the project explore.bps.org.uk/content/bpscpf…
