I'm teaching a group of mental health masters students from UCL this morning. Hello! @MentalhealthMSc 👋🏽

Talking about science blogging & social media.

I'm often asked what makes a good science blog, so here are examples from the last few years 👇🏽

🧵THREAD I always love blogs that combine lived experience & research. For me, that's the best combo to help us learn. Telling the human story of a mental health problem & explaining how new research might help us answer questions and act upon our findings to improve people's lives.

Have you ever wondered...

What's my purpose and what impact does it have on my mental health?

Great new #ActiveIngredientsMH video from @EmilyHielscher @CrandonTara @MartinaMcGr @JulieBlakeEpi @QIMRBerghofer @SRFmentalhealth Sense of purpose is defined as the extent to which people see their lives having meaning, a sense of direction, and goals

And now it’s time for our final #IEPA12 keynote from Rodrigo A Bressan @RodrigoAffonse1 who is going to talk about Widening the clinical and geographical frontiers of neurodevelopmental studies - the Brazilian High Risk Cohort Study We’ve heard this statistic a few times during #IEPA12
75% of mental disorders start before age 18. Bressan adds that 50% of mental disorders start before age 14.
So “we need to understand the biology very early on, not after onset”.

Our next speaker is Louise Arseneault @L_Arseneault from King’s College London who will be talking about Early intervention for developing positive social relationships: can we prevent bullying victimization and loneliness? #IEPA12 The absence of social relationships, or problematic ones may lead to mental health problems, says Arseneault. At the same time, positive social relationships can protect our health and wellbeing. They are important malleable factors that can be target by interventions. #IEPA12
