At a time in young lives when so much is changing, why add another change to those under MH care?
We want to get beyond the usual point that the CAMHS/adult transition is problematic. Exactly why? What ⬆️ or ⬇️ risk?
🚨NEW @NCISH_UK STUDY🚨
NCISH has been commissioned to examine the transition process from CAMHS to AMHS, a high-risk period for patients. To better understand this: we are asking patients, carers and clinicians to share their experiences of mental health services via survey

Part of the case for a social media ban relates to suicide & self-harm rates. In fact, the evidence is at best circumstantial & shows
The SH ⬆️ in young people began well before social media took hold.
The ⬆️ in suicide in young teens is very recent. It remains mercifully rare.

Today is #RemembranceSunday, an opportunity to honour the courage and sacrifice of those who have served and who have sadly lost their lives in all wars.
Remembrance can bring back difficult feelings and emotions. Search Op COURAGE to find support if you’re struggling.

Remembrance can bring back difficult thoughts and memories.
Op COURAGE can help UK armed forces veterans, if you are struggling.
Planning how you want to take part in remembrance, practicing self-care and coping skills, talking to others, and limiting media can also be helpful.
