@benhannigan.bsky.social I'd agree this smells of a 'strategy' and if succesful from CU's perspective, will other RG universities follow?

I work with such talented and committed nursing academics in Cardiff University. Excellent teaching, outstanding research: all in a School with a history of doing this for more than half a century. All now at risk, with letters informing us of possible redundancy landing yesterday. Very poor.
Abstract There is an urgent need to improve mental health outcomes among young people. One approach taken to address this problem has been the design and delivery of universal school-based prevention, based on therapeutic models such as CBT and mindfulness. Such interventions are delivered to groups of young people, irrespective of risk or need. However, in this commentary, we argue that the initial appeal of universal interventions has not been supported by the evidence: universal school-based prevention is less effective than targeted approaches, often leads to null or unsustained positive effects, has the potential to elicit negative effects and is not well liked by young people themselves. In addition, many young people in each classroom already meet the criteria for a mental disorder, meaning that prevention approaches may not be appropriate or effective for this group. In this commentary, we respond to Birrell et al.'s (2025) paper by arguing that the field should move away from universal prevention and instead invest our limited resources in the refinement and dissemination of interventions with a stronger evidence base, such as one-to-one, targeted and indirect approaches.
NEW ARTICLE: In this short piece, Jack Andrews and I argue that, based on the evidence we now have, the field should move away from universal school-based mental health interventions and focus on more effective alternatives

Women to outnumber men as NHS doctors for the first time

It means so much to me to be in this NHS England film on co-production in SEND because I was once an autistic, ADHD, mentally ill young person who was undiagnosed & unsupported.
I want better outcomes for young people with SEND &, to me, co-production is integral to this.
A nice starter pack to introduce qualitative researchers to each other! Recommended : go.bsky.app/N6x825K

To be true co-researchers surely they should be paid the same rate as any other researcher? On our NIHR Blueprint project, we paid young co-researchers the same rate as a uni research assistant because they were essentially doing the same job. Bureaucracy a nightmare but McPin came to the rescue.
Have you seen these short videos? Aimed at researchers who are keen to involve young people in their research as advisors/project partners, we coproduced this series of supportive HOW TO videos. digitalyouth.ac.uk/resources/wa... #copro #youthinvolvement

This Guardian article explores interesting findings around boosting emotion regulation and coping skills - but IMO this is not “learning resilience” as the framing suggests. Resilience (adaptive functioning in the face of significant adversity) is… (cont) www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

Can't believe I only watched this film last week, having never seen it before. It is every bit as good as the reviews say.
