We're honored to have our staff invited to speak at so many important conferences this week.

One of today's conferences: The Mental Health in Schools Conference in Georgetown, TX.

Thank you to Matt Smith from Williamson County Juvenile Services for great work on the event!
@josettesaxton If you missed @josettesaxton's panel today — or if you just want more info on what the #TXlege passed regarding children's mental health and other kids' issues — check out our recap from the end of the legislative session. bit.ly/2FuZ42l
@josettesaxton And here's @josettesaxton's recent policy brief.

"When a child feels frightened, overwhelmed, or unsafe, the brain triggers a complex set of chemical and neurological events that flood the body with stress hormones, including cortisol...."

@josettesaxton And here's one more recent children's mental health brief from @josettesaxton.

This one addresses youth suicide prevention, a critical issue that @toddahunter @Menendez4Texas @FourPriceTX @SenLarryTaylor and other #TXlege members worked on this session.

I'm having a watch of last nights @C4Dispatches "Young, British and Depressed. I'm going to share some thoughts as I go along. The programme was on the UK's Channel 4 for any none UK folks channel4.com/programmes/dis…
@C4Dispatches First thought is: children's #mentalhealth and young adults mental health isn't the same thing. Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services and mainstream mental health services are different beasts. 'Young people' is an artificial construct here. 13 and 30 are very different
@C4Dispatches In the intro the film cuts from a video diary/vlog type bit of footage saying there's no help out there' to voice over asking 'have young people become over reliant on antidepressants?' as if these two questions were naturally linked. They aren't, unless you want to make a point

she outlines her CV, describing her work in mental health and homelessness. her priorities are climate, affordable housing and education.
lloyd snook:
practices criminal defense law here in town. he was on the planning commission for 8 years in the 80s. “there are things going on in charlottesville” that he feels uniquely suited to help with. “we need to get the government to work right again.” 😒

A little thread, which I may come back to, for all those #technophobes who blame rise in #suicide on #socialmedia.

First: legit, what rise?
Second: The actual experts do not agree with you, and your fear-mongering is likely causing more harm than good.
cf. Thomas, K, and Gunnell, D. (2010). Suicide in England and Wales 1861–2007: a time-trends analysis. International Journal of Epidemiology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2010, Pages 1464–1475.
So, first the data, from #UK (above) and elsewhere (below).

Clearly if this epidemic was *caused* by a *single* factor it would permeate all societies with social media.

I have spent the last few years trying to rethink #mhealth. As we work to lessen #stigma and fear I ask everyone to keep an open mind, give feedback, and join me as I delve into some unique hypotheses. 1/
This started with my sphere of mental health. (Pinned) . I don’t believe true “normal” exists and feel everyone has issues that fit within the sphere. A dx comes because of observations that are inherently flawed & variable due to relative perceptions. 2/
I use the word “flawed” because none of us can read minds, therefore, there is no objective way to truly know exactly what someone is going through or how extreme their suffering is. This is one reasons #mhealth pros have such a difficult job. 3/

Just for a bit of balance when I was trying to get out of special ‘schooling’ in the 1980s none of the local public schools in Campbelltown NSW would take me. Only a local Marist school was accessible & made the effort #schools #education
The principal of one public school looked at me, snorted and said ‘well what are we going to do with this little problem hey?’
The second public school said I’d have to skip maths & science classes and do them in a corridor or the library
