I presented this paper at @SuicideSummit in Barcelona today-LGBT youth who had positive school experiences were less likely to report self harm/suicide. We need to make LGBT youth feel safe at school 🏳️‍🌈#Science2StopSuicide

Our new paper on families with 5-year-olds conceived using egg donation is out! Really proud of this wonderful team of researchers, and a big thank you to all the families who took part

🚨New paper!

The study examines parent–child relationships, parental well-being & children’s adjustment in families with 5 year olds conceived either by identity-release egg donation or by IVF with the parents’ own gametes.

Our new paper is out in the wild! We examined disclosure amongst egg donation families over 5 years, and explored whether perceived threat from ID-release impacted disclosure rates. Team: @Susan_Imrie, Vasanti Jadva @UCL_IfWH & Susan Golombok @CFR32

👶 “Having children in different or new ways doesn’t actually interfere with how families function. Really wanting children seems to trump everything.”

Prof Golombok of the Centre for Family Research @CFR32 on the effects of assisted reproduction on children and their parents 👇

@gillienoncarne @LB377 Hi Gillian, it’s [email protected]. Look forward to hearing from you. I’m on mat leave at the moment so might be a wee delay in replying as my 5 month old is full on!

[Dr Susan Imrie @Susan_Imrie]

I would highly recommend @lb377's wonderful new book on family relationships, in which she explores with compassion all the messiness and complexity of families. I was lucky to read an earlier version of the manuscript and have already bought my copy!

@niamhpage Congratulations Niamh! They’re so lucky to have you!

Here is the first academic paper arising from the pathways project. We argue that by celebrating ‘resilience’, institutions have been previously able to justify a lack of support for care leavers. https://t.co/k2q0D9Jm5W

[Dr Sarah Foley @SE_Foley]

At this time of year it’s hard not to encounter portrayals of the ‘perfect family’ holidays, but let’s not forget that everyone has different relationships with their families and this is normal - therefore people will have different support needs. Read @DrLucyBlake new paper 👇
