We had some fantastic speakers at our annual Mental Health Research Group student conference. Very diverse range of topics covered, from burnout in mental health staff to approaches to deescalation in acute inpatient settings.

Well done, Rob & team! A well-written and interesting read. I'm curious about possible solutions which allow care coordinators more time for supervision. Maybe if the long term efficiency of the MOL approach becomes evident to the administrators, it gains priority?

Rob Griffiths @robgriffiths.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

Hi Eva, thanks! Yes, I think if there is evidence that MOL makes a difference in practice (and can be implemented flexibly in the way we think it could be), hopefully, that will build a case that time and resources should be allocated to training/supervision. Did you have any thoughts on solutions?

Rob Griffiths @robgriffiths.bsky.social · 04/12/2024

Due to high workloads, however, care coordinators struggled to attend Method of Levels supervision sessions, and this caused them to feel less confident about implementing the approach in practice. We need to find some way to address this issue before we move to a full evaluation trial.

Rob Griffiths @robgriffiths.bsky.social · 04/12/2024

Participants generally thought the approach could be a helpful way for service users to explore difficulties in more depth, enabling them to generate their own solutions to problems. Care coordinators also reported that they were able to integrate the approach into their routine practice.

Thanks! Great to get your thoughts on this. Relapse is one of those terms that gets used a lot, but seems conceptually “slippery” to define.

Rob Griffiths @robgriffiths.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

Hi Steph, great to see you on here. I had a quick question, if you don’t mind. Are you distinguishing between “recurrence” and “relapse”? If so, how? I’ll read the paper as well, but would be interested in your take.

If the academic exodus from Twitter continues, I wonder if systems like #Altmetric will start to collect data from other social networks? Very focused on X at the moment, but that’s (maybe) going to be less relevant soon.
