Healthy habits start young! Encouraging adolescents to build self esteem and maintain positive friendships lays the foundation for a brighter future. Let's empower young people with the knowledge and support they need to thrive. #youth #AdolescentDevelopment #youngpeoplessafety

8/8 The broader takeaway: adolescent risk is shaped by family, education, peers, and community support together. If we want healthier pathways for young people, we need systems that support families before problems become crises. #AdolescentDevelopment #YouthWellbeing

Investing in adolescents means investing in the future of our society. We are helping to create a generation that is responsible, and ready to contribute positively to society.#AdolescentDevelopment #YouthEmpowerment #LifeSkillsEducation #HealthyFuture #YouthLeadership #Youthful

5/ Specialist gender services were a mistake and should now be disbanded. Specialism narrows the lens. Good child and adolescent mental health care requires the broadest possible formulation: family, trauma, neurodiversity, mood, identity development not a preoccupation with one organising theme. @sueevansprotect and I said this from the outset: specialist services risk narrowing investigation and foreclosing the broader developmental understanding these young people require. @clairecoutinho @Telegraph #CAMHS #MentalHealth #ClinicalGovernance #AdolescentDevelopment

2/ Psychological fragility can make the uncertainty of normal developmental anxieties feel intolerable and threatening. When uncertainty feels dangerous, concrete solutions can appear falsely relieving. Good CAMHS work helps young people think, rather than prematurely act on distress. @RosieDuffield1 @Transgendertrd #CAMHS #AdolescentDevelopment #MentalHealth #ClinicalGovernance

1/ The Pathways trial should be stopped altogether. Scarce NHS resources would be better invested in strengthening generic CAMHS. Most of these young people are struggling with the developmental task of forming a mind and identity of their own. That requires time, containment and thoughtful psychological work, not premature medical pathways. @KemiBadenoch @wesstreeting @Hilary_Cass @BBCHughPym #CAMHS #MentalHealth #AdolescentDevelopment #NHS #ClinicalGovernance #GenderDysphoria

Giving teenagers space isn’t stepping away. It’s stepping back—on purpose. Space is not absence. It is intentional trust. . . . lifeessence.life . . . 91 88821 93102 91 93105 63573 . . . #ParentingTeens #AdolescentDevelopment #IntentionalParenting

Too much space feels like neglect. Too much involvement feels like control. Adolescents need balance— space with emotional presence. . . . lifeessence.life . . . 91 88821 93102 91 93105 63573 . . . #ParentingTeens #PositiveParenting #AdolescentDevelopment #Emotional

Susan Bewley’s letter highlights serious scientific flaws in the Pathways trial. But the core issue isn’t pharmacological or physical, it’s psychological. We should invest in research to understand the developmental pressures and belief systems driving the desire for concrete medical solutions to a psychological crisis provoked by bodily change. @bmj_latest @Hilary_Cass @NIHRresearch @KingsCollegeLon @ #GenderDysphoria #MentalHealth #ClinicalEthics #AdolescentDevelopment

The Pathways trial does not appear to engage with how psychological pressure can drive young people toward concrete medical solutions to bypass psychological thought, particularly where the capacity for symbolic thinking has collapsed or failed to develop. This issue is explored in depth in my latest open-access paper, Beyond Affirmation, which examines affirmation as a psychological and institutional defence against developmental pain. @bmj_latest @Hilary_Cass @WesselyS @wesstreeting @Transgendertrd @genspect @segm_ebm #GenderDysphoria #MentalHealth #ClinicalEthics #AdolescentDevelopment
