Happy to be back with my puppy after an exciting but tiring conference with @TRIUMPHnetwork was great to be with like-minded people and see where future research could lead us

Now that the team and I are home or homebound I’d love to take a moment to really commend all of the young people involved in the #TRIUMPHFest. The YAG that co-led the event and the young people presenting and attending. You’re paving the way to a better world for young people.

Interesting keynote today Willem Kuyken #AACBT22 about the recent Myriad Trial results showing mindfulness universal prevention is ineffective and actually harmful for teens with depression. Widespread implementation in Australian schools has raced well ahead of the evidence.

How do people concentrate? I’ve been trying to do a lecture for about 3 hours and I just can’t seem to do it. I’m doing all the usual things to try and stimulate my other senses (listening to music, chewing gum, watching Netflix, having flashing lights) but nothing is working

No but seriously the concentration has gone out the window. I spent 3 hours procrastinating to start work. I’ve now been sitting at my desk for 2 hours and written 3 sentences. I’m not tired or overwhelmed I just can’t seem to apply myself 🙄

That poor squirrel. All it’s life’s work just gone 🥺

Before any uni assignment

Anyone able to pass this on to any boys/young men/ non-binary or gender fluid people?

This is a really great article that lays out the correct ways to refer to neurodiversity

When involving people with #livedexperience in your research, please don't consider only what you want to get out of them. Think also about what they might want to get out of taking part, and how the project can serve them to develop and grow as individuals.

Schools are a great place to open up conversations around mental health stigma and discrimination - and our See Me See Change resources are a great way to get started! ➡️ buff.ly/3OacBxg

Mindfulness can be a great resort for people feeling the ups and downs of life but so often it is suggested for people with long and enduring mental health conditions and it’s just not helpful

Tomorrow’s the big day! Our volunteers have organised a Time to Talk Day Walk a Mile in Stonehaven, and we’re eager to get people in the #Stonehaven and surrounding areas talking about mental health. More details can be found on the events page. 👉 buff.ly/3H75l2W

Everyday it continues to surprise me how ableist things can be

Does anyone else feel like the world is constantly beating them up? #askingforafriend
