Fantastic to see this important commission, with a clear call to action to address youth mental health. Our National Suicide Research Foundation (NSRF) research has, similar to other countries, identified increasing rates of self-harm in young Irish people, an ongoing trend since 2010. We need to better understand the contributory factors to this trend in Ireland. You can access further information about our data here: ▶ 2021 NSHRI Report: https://lnkd.in/ehEkwtha ▶ Increasing rates of self-harm in young people: https://lnkd.in/ez7xn7Bu
This The Lancet Commission is a pivotal moment for youth mental health and we're proud to have worked on it as part of an international, expert consortium. As the first definitive guide to youth mental health globally, the Commission highlights the compelling evidence of need for improved mental health care and calls for urgent action. "As long as adolescents and emerging adults are undervalued, languishing in precarity…society itself will become precarious," said Prof. Eóin Killackey, joint senior author and Orygen Chief of Research and Knowledge Translation.

Screening, Prep, Set, Setting, Dosage, and Integration...are only some of the keys to safely unlocking the doors we wish to pass through...
We published the book chapter 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝘀𝘆𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 "𝗕𝗮𝗱 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘀". You can read the chapter here: https://lnkd.in/em6_GvXj It was a pleasure and an honor to co-author this chapter with Peter Gasser, drawing on Peter's decades of clinical experience in the field of psychedelic-assisted therapy. We hope it will be a valuable resource for practitioners across various settings, including research, private practice, and emergency care. Let's face it: the therapeutic and recreational use of psychedelics is on the rise, fueled by ongoing media hype around their potential benefits for well-being, truth-seeking, and personal development. With this increase comes a greater likelihood of challenging experiences, "bad trips," and potential mental health consequences. It is crucial that we prepare to mitigate harm and help these experiences become a constructive part of the individual’s life. A special thanks to Tomislav Majic, editor of the book project 𝗣𝘀𝘆𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗺 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, for this opportunity!

In a recent Atlantic piece, journalist Jerusalem Demsas stated the ’normalization that many people do struggle with severe mental illnesses—has been one of the great cultural transformations of the 21st century.’ And while this may be true – there is still so much work to do to end stigma and discrimination associated with mental health. According to the Lancet Commission on Ending Stigma and Discrimination in Mental Health Review published in 2022, stigma continues to be the biggest barrier to thriving. In addition, stigma has also been cited as a reason that mental health services receive less funding and are considered less prestigious than other health services in many countries. The Lancet review provided eight recommendations for various stakeholders on what to do to reduce stigma – one of those being the WHO. We’re thrilled to share that the WHO has answered their call, and will publish their own, ‘WHO MOSAIC toolkit to end stigma and discrimination in mental health’, which will provide practical guidance on deploying anti-stigma initiatives. We’ll be sure to share it once it’s live – but for now, learn what you can do every day to help combat discrimination and stigma in mental health: https://lnkd.in/ef5ps9En
