🧠 Poor mental health across adolescence can have lasting impacts. New research by @katie-taylor.bsky.social found that young people with consistently poor mental health were more likely to be NEET at age 23. Read our policy brief: equalisehealthequity.org/2026/09/09/m... #MentalHealth #NEET

We are deeply saddened by the loss of Professor Jason Arday. His scholarship, teaching and public work challenged racism and inequality, inspiring so many. We honour his legacy and extend our heartfelt condolences to his loved ones, colleagues, students and communities.
Quote from Professor Jason Arday on a dark green background reading, 'Every human life has a purpose. Imagine what might happen if we were all united in the just cause of valuing all human being equally. Then maybe, just maybe, all kinds of great things might be possible.'

Providing care in later life may be beneficial, but only up to a point. An Equalise study found moderate caregiving led slower cognitive decline, while intensive caring (50+ hrs/week) was linked to faster decline. Explore our studies: equalisehealthequity.org/publications...
