🐟 Did you know? Many of us unwittingly consume excessive omega-6 fatty acids from fried and processed foods, which can contribute to chronic inflammation and potential mood imbalances. Omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids should ideally be consumed in a balanced ratio, but in modern diets, the scale is often tipped heavily towards omega-6s (think sunflower oil and fried snacks). This imbalance can alter cell membranes, maintaining inflammation that affects both physical and #mentalhealth. To support your mental wellbeing, consider adding weekly servings of omega-3-rich foods like salmon, walnuts, flaxseeds, and chia seeds. These nutrient-packed options not only help counterbalance omega-6 dominance but also promote cognitive function and emotional balance. Remember, reducing your intake of ultra-processed foods also plays a crucial role in maintaining our #metalwellbeing!🧠✨ To learn more, visit: https://bit.ly/44VYx3U #Omega3s #antiinflammatoryfood #fattyacids

Enhancing the mental health of young people by improving the translation of scientific research into practice.
About us
The William Templeton Foundation for Young People’s Mental Health (YPMH) is a charitable foundation working to improve the lives of young people by facilitating innovative approaches to resolve mental health conditions. YPMH was established in memory of Will Templeton, by his parents Anne and Peter, and his brother John. The family’s aspiration is to enable the ‘joining-up’ of excellent research and practice across the many fields associated with young people’s mental health to improve the prevention, identification, diagnosis and treatment of conditions such as depression and anxiety. Our mission is to: - Reduce the number of young people who experience mental health problems, particularly depression and anxiety; - Help young people enter adulthood with greater resilience to mental health conditions; and thereby - Reduce the number of young people who take their own lives. We strive to help build a future where: - The pathways and mechanisms of key mental health disorders, especially depression and anxiety, are understood and widely applied to innovations in practice and policy. - Knowledge and skills for protecting and nurturing mental health are available to young people and their families and carers, and to practitioners. - Healthcare policy and practice address the “whole self” at the earliest appropriate points in the development of mental health conditions. We are doing this by working with people and organisations from across the mental health ecosystem to accelerate the translation of research into innovations in practice and policy.

🌶 They say variety is the spice of life, which is especially true when aiming for 30+ plants per week! Embrace the rainbow with a diverse range of fruits and vegetables – from orange and yellow peppers to green and red apples, each colour brings unique benefits. And it’s not just about fruit and vegetables – nuts, seeds, beans, and pulses also count towards a balanced diet rich in dietary fibre, antioxidants, and polyphenols crucial for gut health and our mental wellbeing. 🌈🥑 To learn more, visit: https://bit.ly/44VYx3U #YPMH #GutHealth #MentalWellbeing #EatTheRainbow

Thank you for your kind message, Frank. Since its beginning in 2019, the collaboration between Institute for Manufacturing (IfM), University of Cambridge and YPMH: The Foundation For Young People's Mental Health has been terrific. Together, we have co-developed new approaches to help: 1. Understand: o How mental health conditions, such as depression in young people, develop through social and psychological factors and biological mechanisms o How to identify opportunities to improve prevention, early detection, diagnosis, and personalised management and treatment 2. Innovate: o Specific innovations across a range of contexts o Portfolios of innovations for, for example, specific care stages - such as primary prevention o Portfolios of innovations for, for example, organisations engaging with young people, such as schools 3. Implement innovations, considering: o The factors needed to support behaviour change for individuals’, combining this with o Change within organisations, and o Change across ecosystems, helping to key stakeholders to understand their roles in delivering effective change. -Looking forward to continuing our collaboration!
🌱 Did you know? Recent studies have highlighted the connection between #depression and #guthealth. Individuals experiencing depression often exhibit lower levels of diverse 'good' bacteria, which can impact the integrity of the gut wall, potentially leading to chronic inflammation associated with depressive symptoms. Nourish your body by eating 30 or more different plant types each week, including vegetables, pulses, beans, seeds, nuts, and fruit and avoiding highly processed foods that contain emulsifiers and other chemicals that can damage the microbiome and the gut wall. Eating fermented foods like kefir, sauerkraut, and kimchi is a great way to provide good bacteria that support a healthy microbiome! A healthy gut supports a happy mind! 🧠 To learn more, visit: https://bit.ly/44VYx3U #MentalWellness #mentalhealthfood #foodforthought

⚽️🏃♂️ As we enjoy the excitement of the #UEFAEuros, it's a great opportunity to highlight the benefits of football and exercise for mental health! Regular physical activity is essential for maintaining both our physical and mental wellbeing. Exercise not only reduces cortisol levels and inflammation, both linked to depression, but also boosts the production of brain growth factors, neurogenesis, and neuroplasticity, all contributing to our psychological wellbeing. Engaging in group activities like football provides social support, fosters enjoyment, and improves mastery and self-esteem. Moreover, spending time outdoors in green spaces has additional benefits for relaxation, brain development, and sleep regulation. Let's get moving! Embrace physical activity, not just for physical fitness but for mental wellbeing too!
