Doctors in Distress is conducting a survey for all healthcare workers to find out exactly what kind of support they are looking for to maintain their wellbeing. If you work in healthcare, please use this survey to tell us your thoughts to shape the future of mental health support programs for healthcare workers. This survey is a way for you to share the challenges you face and the types of support that would make a difference. All responses will remain anonymous. The survey is open until the 18th December. Doctors in Distress exists to promote and protect the mental health of all healthcare workers and to prevent suicide. https://lnkd.in/es9pwawZ

This is an important step in the right direction.

Hello LinkedIn!   I am a current doctoral student at Queens College & The Graduate Center, CUNY. I am surveying BCBAs, other mental health professionals who work with children with ASD (i.e., psychologists, social workers, and mental health counselors), and parents of children with ASD on their perceptions of the performance-based IISCA in relation to principles of trauma-informed care.    The survey should take approximately 15-30 minutes to complete. Respondents will watch two short background videos on functional analyses and trauma informed care and be shown 1 de-identified assessment video. Following the assessment video, they will complete a rating scale to assess the extent to which they find the assessment to incorporate principles of trauma-informed care. Respondents will also be given an option to watch up to 2 additional videos and complete surveys for each if they wish.   There is no compensation for participation; however, I hope the information gathered here will aid in further development of trauma-informed assessment procedures of problem behavior.   Here is the link: https://lnkd.in/etfZUwvr   Thank you!

Seminar: Trauma & the Intergenerational Transmission of Mental Health  Date: 2 February 2024  Time: 13.00-17.00 (including borrel)  Location: Allard Pierson Museum  Keynotes: Prof. dr. Ramon Lindauer, Prof. dr. Damiaan Denys and Prof. dr. Gemma Blok  We are delighted to invite you to our second Healthy Future Seminar in our Healthy Future Seminar Series. This series of thought-provoking seminars will explore important interdisciplinary themes that are relevant for a Healthy Future.    The seminar will dive into the topic of Mental health and intergenerational transmission. Intergenerational transmission refers to the transfer of mental health patterns, experiences, and traumas across family lines. Exploring this connection unveils how the experiences of previous generations impact the mental well-being of individuals today, shedding light on the importance of addressing these inherited influences for a healthier future. During this seminar, we will look at both the historical and contemporary components of intergenerational transmission before turning to prevention and potential solutions. The program consists of an excellent group of keynote speakers, a panel discussion, followed by table discussions to inspire and discuss new collaborations.   To register for the first seminar, fill out this form https://lnkd.in/ensvSp3F. Space is limited so we encourage you to register early.

Whenever primary research is being conducted on female health, it deserves our attention. Recent statistics suggest that only 2% of medical research funding is spent on pregnancy, childbirth, and female reproductive health. This is despite 1 in 3 women reporting a reproductive or gynaecological health problem.  Women have been historically under-represented in medical research, such as clinical trials which has resulted in many female health related topics being very poorly understood. It takes a long time to recover from the gaps in this evidence base that have resulted from exclusion, so every piece of research is important 🙌🏼 Ladies, take 5 minutes to complete this survey for the wonderful Annie O'Connor research! #femalehealth #femtech

Supporting the growth and development of our children is a common goal, but it can be challenging when we're unsure of the best ways to help them. At KT Healthcare, we understand that every child experiences the world differently, and some may have unique needs requiring extra assistance as they mature. Identifying these needs through an assessment is crucial. By assessing the possibility of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in your child, you can: 1. Gain Peace of Mind: Regardless of the outcome, having more information can bring solace. 2. Acquire Knowledge: Understand your child's specific needs better. 3. Receive Advice: Get practical guidance on supporting your child effectively. 4. Access Support: Connect with a range of resources for further assistance. Our team of clinical professionals will guide you through the assessment process, explaining its implications for you and your child. We'll offer practical advice on the next steps and how to continue supporting your child's development and growth effectively. Our autism assessments are available nationwide and are carried out face to face in a clinic or similar setting, to find out more about booking an assessment, simply fill out the form below and a member of the team will be in touch:  https://lnkd.in/eDiHBpy8 #autsm #asd #autisticawareness #healthcare #autistic
