The evidence is clear that supporting children and young people in the very early stages of life is crucial in preventing ill health in future, including having access to affordable and nutritious food regardless of their background.

Wales’ basic income pilot for care leavers shows how financial security supports mental health. Reduced anxiety, better social connections, and life choices - all from £1,6k a month. A powerful reminder: Stability matters in early adulthood. #MentalHealth #CareLeavers #SocialJustice

I was very close to the awful incident at the #Liverpool victory parade—witnessed it from a distance and still trying to process what I saw. My heart is with those who were injured, their loved ones, and everyone who witnessed the horror up close. Absolutely heartbroken and concerned.

Well that’s me depressed for the weekend. As Glen acidly observes this looks like a pretty transparent effort to shift blame for coming university bankruptcies onto the institutions. Good luck with selling that to whichever MPs are about to lose their constituency’s largest employer.

In case the impact of gov control over universities on autocratization needs to be any clearer: The university that issued Turkey's would-be opposition pres. candidate just annulled his diploma. Effectively barring his candidacy. That university's rector was installed by the ruling AKP in 2023.

The war has exacted a horrific toll on Gaza’s children. With the announcement of the ceasefire deal, it is imperative that the parties fully adhere to it and allow the necessary level of aid in. Children need lasting peace NOW.

An issue that I, and other #resilience researchers, tirelessly emphasize: "Focusing on resilience as a solution to #mentalhealth crisis risks shifting responsibility for mental health onto those affected, rather than calling out and changing policies and systems contributing to poor mental health."
