"Childhood mental health problems are common and increasing: almost one in five (18%) children aged 7-17 now has a probable mental disorder, a 50% increase from one in nine (12%) in 2017. Childhood is the key time to intervene: 50% of lifetime mental health problems are established by the age of 14, and 75% by the age of 25."

Please have a look at the below and take part if you can. I would be grateful if you could please also share the survey with your contacts! Views of health and social care professionals working with people with intellectual disabilities on proposed MHA reforms. Are you a health (non-medical/Psychiatry) or social care professional who works primarily with adults with intellectual disabilities? We would like to hear your views on the proposed mental health act changes published recently (https://lnkd.in/gYqk6Xdw). Under the proposals, detention using the criteria of abnormally aggressive or seriously irresponsible conduct will not be considered warranting compulsory treatment under section 3 of the Mental Health Act (MHA) for England and Wales. This is in the absence of a co-occurring mental illness. We ask for your help to understand what the practice, challenges and possible barriers will be if these section 3 changes go ahead. Your input would allow us to gain insight to the unique experiences and challenges, health and social care staff working in the field experience, and canvass support to respond suitably on behalf of the PwID, their families and carers but also for the services you work for. This survey is only for health and social professionals of non-medical background. If you are a medical professional/psychiatrist thank you for your interest but would be grateful if you do not attempt the survey. Another similar survey has looked into this group's feedback. Please contact the survey authors if you need more details on it's findings. Please follow the link to take part in the survey:  https://lnkd.in/gQp82msB Many thanks,  Vivi, Samuel Joseph Tromans and Professor Rohit Shankar MBE

Speaker Spotlight! Short Abstract: "The Perinatal Mental Health Education and Screening Project is a multi-year multidisciplinary effort to ensure that all pregnant and postpartum people are educated about and screened for perinatal mental health conditions and connected with resources for recovery.  Phase I (2021-2022) focused on creating a framework for WHEN to provide patient education and screening.  Phase II (2023-2025) is addressing barriers to screening, including provider knowledge and reimbursement, resources for recovery, and updating screening tools."

If you’re in your parenting era, you might’ve read U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy’s recent report on the mental health and well-being of parents that highlights the need to better support parents, caregivers, and families to help communities thrive. https://lnkd.in/ejWGAg7y “When it comes to mental health and well-being, pediatricians are an essential part of supporting patients and their caregivers,” says Lucy Shores Kosturko, PhD, of Social Cascade. “One way is by sharing accurate, reliable information about mental health on your social media channels.” Social Cascade helps deliver relevant education exactly where patients are searching.

Today is World Mental Health Day 2024. A day to raise awareness of mental health issues around the world and to mobilise efforts in support of mental health. Nurses and Midwives often play in role in the early identification and referral of patients with mental health concerns....a role which does not come without its own challenges. Our team of researchers have been hard at work within the mental health care space; identifying and highlighting some key areas where support is needed: 🔔 Nursing assessment of mental health issues in the general clinical environment: A descriptive study: https://lnkd.in/gHrDyVuN 🔔 What makes a space safe? Consumers' perspectives on a mental health safe space: https://lnkd.in/gBZyPrpX 🔔 Physical Health of People with Mental Illness: A Snapshot of Consumer Engagement in the Provision of Care in Primary Care: https://lnkd.in/gb9Q9_gf #worldmentalhealthday #mentalhealth #mentalhealthcare

As we at the National Perinatal Information Center begin to end National Maternal Mental Health Month, what are your focus areas for bringing heightened awareness to perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs)? Here's a suggestion...end the #stigma of mental health diagnoses and treatment. Create intentional spaces for discussing mental health that no longer support shame or blame. Want to encourage new mothers and parents to seek out mental health resources? The first step...don't blame them for their conditions. Support them. Offer a ride to therapy. Watch their children so they can receive the care they need.

🛑 America Fails Moms Again: Maternal Mental Health Needs Urgent Action. The Policy Center for Maternal Mental Health's inaugural report card paints a grim picture: the U.S. receives a failing grade (D) for maternal mental health policies. This is unacceptable. Here's why this matters: ❌ 40 states and DC scored Ds and Fs. Only one state managed a B-. ❌ Postpartum mental health complications are a leading cause of maternal mortality. ❌ The lack of support for mothers' mental wellbeing is a national crisis. This is exactly why I created HONEY PostPartum. We bridge the gap in maternal healthcare by focusing specifically on the postpartum period, a time when mental health struggles are most prevalent. HONEY PostPartum provides critical resources and support to help mothers navigate this challenging yet crucial stage. 💛 OUR IOS APP LAUNCHES OCTOBER 2024 💛 Together, we can change this narrative. Let's advocate for better mental health policies for moms and prioritize their well-being. #maternalmentalhealth #postpartumsupport #HONEYPostPartum #mentalhealthmatters P.S. Share your thoughts on the report card findings and how we can improve maternal mental health support in the comments below! https://www.2020mom.org/
