How can we support better mental health in our communities?

Our new research explores how @OHID's Better Mental Health Fund enabled local councils to run projects tailored to the needs of their communities.

Important data, we need to keep questioning and learning.

[louis appleby @ProfLAppleby]

New @ONS data give us, for first time, national suicide rates month by month for Covid years 2020 & 2021, compared to earlier years.

Graph shows no rise in these years overall, or any month, or any period of pandemic, including lockdown.

What can we learn from this?

THREAD: Inequities in mental health research

Covid-19 is widening inequalities in mental health, and major gaps in #MentalHealthResearch mean we don’t have the evidence and information we need to address this.

[Neha Shah @Neha_D_Shah]

How can we ensure mental health research in the UK is fit for purpose and works for the benefit of all? If you fund, produce or or engage with research then check out our new cross-sector collaborative paper 👇

[Andy Bell @Andy__Bell__]

Fit for purpose? Brand new ⁦@CentreforMH⁩ report on how #MentalHealthResearch needs to change to tackle the inequalities consequent to the pandemic. Huge thanks to the amazing people who worked with us on this project (too many to fit into one tweet) https://t.co/e7gd5nSQNE

@RoseMcCabe2 Winnicott! Autocorrect is not my friend ☺

[Neha Shah @Neha_D_Shah]

@RoseMcCabe2 Winnington is great! Theory of the parent-child relationship (1960) is a good overview; and worth reading chapters on playing,transitional objects and use of an object in Playing and Reality for a sense of the theory.

[Neha Shah @Neha_D_Shah]

@RoseMcCabe2 Also think Bion on containment is very helpful for thinking about therapeutic relationships, not the most accessible of writers though!

@MedActivist Recordings are accessible to those signed up to PHRSC 21 for 1 month, but can still get people on the list. DM me with your email if you are interested

[Neha Shah @Neha_D_Shah]

Great session today on improving mental health across diverse systems- how do we make the most of today's opportunities (and challenges) and how should we change the way we work to improve MH? Worth checking out the recording if you missed it #PHRSC2021

@TheLancetPsych Distinct mental health trajectories during pandemic. Those experiencing deterioration or consistently poor MH more likely to be black/Asian, younger, deprived neighbourhoods. From Manchester CWMH @Tamsin_J_Ford @ProfAnnJohn @MatthewHotopf @HatchStephani @WesselyS +others
