The largest ever study of Autistic people's priorities in Scotland has revealed a desire to focus research on mental health, post-diagnosis support and social stigma. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eUXPfjj3 Research like this is so important, particluarly when it comes to mental health and Autism. The first population study on Autism and Suicide, published in 2015, shows it is the second biggest killer of autistic adults without intellectual disability, after heart disease. With Autistic women being the most at risk, 13 x more likely to die by suicide. Read that again 👆 "Autistic people who participated in the survey, also highlighted a deep desire for the research that is done to either be led by autistic people, or be conducted in participatory ways alongside autistic people, because it's something that affects their lives." We need so much more of this. Research done, written by, observed alongside, the people that understand the internal experience and can convey it in a way that reaches and benefits those that need it. #autism #autismawareness #mentalhealth https://lnkd.in/eGHbJJNa

🔴 One in five children are suffering from “probable mental health disorders”, an official survey by the NHS has found. An #NHS survey of children and parents, published by the #ONS, showed a surge in respondents reporting a possible #mentalhealth disorder among eight to 16-year-olds last year compared with before the #pandemic when it stood at 12.5%, or one in eight. A further 12% are considered to have a “possible disorder”. Among older teens, almost a quarter of 17 to 19-year-olds also have probable disorders, according to the survey. In this age group there is a significant #gender divide, as almost one in three young #women are thought to suffer, which is double the 15.4% figure for young #men. #Campaigners said the pressures of the pandemic and #lockdown have put #children under increasing strain, while the #healthsystem is struggling to cope with surging #demand.

Let's shine a light on youth mental health in Simcoe Muskoka. Globally, suicide tops the list as the #1 health-related cause of death for youth. Pre-pandemic stats reveal a challenging landscape for our local youth: 1. Ages 15 to 24 face higher rates of mental illness and substance use, yet often receive inadequate treatment (CAMH). 2. In 2019, 20% of Simcoe Muskoka students (Grades 7-12) seriously considered suicide, a significant increase from 2015 (SMDHU Health Stats). 3. Less than half (43%) rated their mental health as excellent or very good, while 31% reported it as fair or poor (SMDHU Health Stats). The struggle intensifies for queer and trans youth: - In 2011, 23.6% of LGBT youth considered ending their life, while 32.7% faced anxiety, depression, or self-harm (The Simcoe County LGBT Youth Needs Assessment Report). Over 80% of local trans youth experienced suicidal thoughts, with 44% attempting suicide (Transgender Health Needs in Simcoe Muskoka Report). This 'Month of Hope,' let's rally together to break the stigma and support youth mental health. Your involvement can make a difference! https://lnkd.in/dNzNckj

Get people out if hospitals and back to their families and communities Our approach to people that we deem 'risky' is often to place them in hospitals with poor care standards and most importantly once they are incarcerated it is difficult to get them out. A less important but relevant point us that these placements are also expensive. We need to decommission many if these beds and get flourishing lives for these people. This is nit a pipedream but requires a strategic change in commissioning. #hospitals #autistic #autism #learningdisabilities #mentalhealth #NHS
Do you remember Bethany? Locked up on a mental health ward 24 hrs a day, no window & just a mattress on the floor. On Wed the King's Speech will include a Mental Health Bill to end this kind of long term detention for learning disabled & autistic people. There are currently 2,025 autistic people with learning disabilities detained in England - more than 10% of all people under Mental Health Act restrictions. I spoke to Bethany's Dad who told me Bethany is now "living her best life" after moving into a bungalow as a tenant of her own home in January. She has an acre and a half of space and three carers with her at any one time. Expensive, but cheaper than a forensic mental health ward. Jeremy has now given up his job as a teacher and is working as an expert by experience on care and treatment reviews. He has done over 200 now and see's the same issues. Jeremy said he believes most of the 2,000 detained in hospital people could live in the community if they were properly supported. He said: “Hospital is never the right answer. The biggest barrier is lack of provision in the community. It's not just about opening the hospital door it's about that social care provision. “Without that it goes wrong and people are very quickly readmitted. I have seen people who have been in hospital for over 20 years.” While he welcomed the new legislation planned by Labour, Jeremy said this could only be one part of a solution that will also need investment in community care. He is also worried that clinicians who don’t appreciate autism and learning disability will continue to find ways to detain people using spurious diagnoses. “I'm already seeing other diagnoses creeping in as part of my reviews,” he said adding: “There are mental health diagnoses being attached to people who are autistic. One I have seen is EUPD, or emerging unstable personality disorder, it is a huge worry.” If doctors diagnose a patient with a mental health condition they would still be subject to the Mental Health Act and potentially be detained. “We're going to need to be very very careful,” said Jeremy. #mentalhealth #autism #learningdisabilities #NHSEngland

New research is out from Common Sense Media and Hopelab that explores how young people find, evaluate, and use mental health apps, online therapy, and behavioral health information. The data reveals that they are using online tools for support, information, and therapy. Diving deeper, young people from communities of color, the LGBTQ+ community, or those who already have symptoms of moderate to severe depression, are more reliant on these tools. As young people explore online, they are also careful to vet what they find through these resources, rather than "self-diagnose," as media trends may show. Amid a heavier reliance on online platforms, we need to make sure these resources are as high-quality and easily accessible as possible to ensure that everyone can access the support they need.

🧠 New Research Reveals Top Barriers for Teens Seeking Mental Health Support 🧠 News from our partners at The Jed Foundation (JED). Their latest report, "Unraveling the Stigma: Exploring Barriers to Mental Health Support Among U.S. Teens," sheds light on the real obstacles teens face when seeking mental health support. Key findings from the research with over 1,500 teens include: - Stigma is not the top barrier. Teens are more worried about not being understood, discomfort with emotional conversations, and feeling like a burden to others. - Non-judgmental parents are the primary source of support. Teens also turn to friends and other family members. - Cultural factors matter. Asian, Hispanic/Latinx, Black/African American, and LGBTQ+ teens face higher stigma-related barriers. - Online platforms are crucial. TikTok (43%), YouTube (39%), and Instagram (38%) are popular for seeking support. -Concern for friends over themselves. 59% of teens are likely to reach out if worried about a friend’s suicidal thoughts, compared to 43% for their own. By understanding these barriers and support systems, we can help parents, teachers and peers create a more supportive environment for our youth. At Forefront, we’re excited to incorporate this knowledge into our partnership with JED that delivers comprehensive suicide prevention programming to high schools across Washington. 🔗 Read the full report and learn how you can support teen mental health: https://lnkd.in/ewUBHvnc #MentalHealth #TeenSupport #JedFoundation #BreakTheStigma #YouthMentalHealth
