Australia’s rethinking our schools. You’ve a rare opp to tell govt what’s important. How do you want our children educated? Do we want global & generous citizens, to belong, to be mentally healthy? How can we value our teachers more? Have your say: https://t.co/xYLa8SpRQe

Our first keynote speaker @blackdoginst @AustPsych #mentallyhealthierschools conference @alizaws says "We can prevent anxiety and depression in students in schools BUT we need to look to the science when choosing school mental health programs, as some do harm."

[Jennifer L Hudson @jenlhudson]

School staff are under a lot of pressure, particularly those in wellbeing roles. Our panel @blackdoginst @AustPsych #MentallyHealthierSchools conference discussed great evidence-based school + individual strategies to support staff wellbeing. Much needed support for schools.

You should know that 5 women were killed in Australia last week. Five. In one week. And yet somehow, male violence is still not seen as an emergency that needs to be urgently addressed.

So proud to have our new measure of death anxiety published today! 🥳 The Death Anxiety Beliefs and Behaviours Scale (DABBS) is the first to measure affect, unhelpful beliefs & avoidance behaviours related to fears of death (1/3)

We hear from teachers that they spend so long preparing for a fire at school with drills etc, but they’re far more likely to experience a student suicide then a fire and they don’t have any training to respond. Powerful point from @Lamb_Mich #IASPGOLDCOAST2022

[Dr. Zac Seidler @zacseidler]

How jarring it must be for a man to grow up, weather constant 'banter' & bullying around the sharing of their emotional lives, only to one day end up in ED after a suicide attempt with those same voices now asking him "why didn't you tell us?" and promising they're an open ear.

Mental health support for primary school children: early intervention … Prof @jenlhudson et al @blackdoginst write #freeaccess InSight+ … "there is significant unrealised potential to intervene earlier to mitigate risk of long-term impacts" https://t.co/7sJd1EBz8C #medtwitter

My mum got citizenship of her own country by appearing in court. She had to prove 3 things.1.She could speak English;2.Was free of disease&3. Had severed ties with other “natives”.She kept it.Thankfully. Because ppl still deny it happened. It’s why we need critical race theory

[Dr Tracy Westerman AM @TracyWesterman]

In just 13 mnths the Westerman Jilya Institute for Indigenous Mental Health is funding & mentoring TWENTY SIX Indigenous psychology students across Oz. We want a future free of the highest rates of child suicide, incarceration,child removal so we decided to do something about it

@jenlhudson I sadly missed this - Is there a way to subscribe to a recording of the conference @jenlhudson

[Dr Rebecca S Lazarus @RebeccaSLazarus]

@jenlhudson @JAMAPediatrics @HM_Christensen @MTeesson No wonder we are under the pump. Whilst concerning, these stats are very reflective of what we are seeing in clinical practice
