Our systematic review on the evidence of health system governance in settings with conflict-affected populations finds a need for more theoretically informed research on governance in settings with conflict-affected populations.

This is exactly why there should be more coproduced research with, by and for children on their school community - & for their health services, local authority & other local systems
Research shows that young people thrive when they have a say in their lives & #Education. Involving them in decisions enhances #engagement, autonomy, and #MentalHealth. Time to move beyond tokenism and truly listen to young voices. #StudentVoice #YouthEmpowerment
Children consistently expressed a desire for more choice in their education.

Participation should always result in tangible outcomes…but so often it doesn’t.

If you find that too, take a look at our @goalproject.bsky.social
Participation Toolkit about how to support participation across #mentalhealth systems
Tokenism happens when service users are only invited to participate without their input genuinely influencing decisions. Participation should result in tangible outcomes.

Such powerful artwork it made our hearts hurt a bit too
This paper looks really interesting and is on my 'to read' pile.
But it's the picture that really drew me and made my heart hurt a bit, as it reminded me so much of my own ND daughter. Shows the power of both YP's #participation & #CreativeMethods.
#PPI
🧠✨ How do neurodivergent young people manage emotional distress—on their own terms?
We have a new paper completed.
