This weekend we’ve had a female politician being asked how they’ve coped with their job & a female rugby player being asked how they’ve managed their sport whilst parenting. can’t wait to hear men being asked about their feelings at work and how it’s impacted their children. #BBCSport and #BBCNews

The state of our university system is 😱. People are losing their jobs and courses are being cut at a heartbreaking rate. We need artists and creative work and some career areas depend on degrees. What’s going on?

This is a *key* new paper in the world of school mental health interventions

A very large trial (N=6388) testing a universal CBT-based app for adolescent depression (13-14y)

No effects found (on depression, anxiety, distress or insomnia)

I think what a lot of these unsuccessful interventions have in common is that they are about changing kids within schools, rather than changing the school itself. The school becoming a channel for reaching lots of kids, rather than the school environment itself being a target for intervention.

#edpsychs As part of our research on the DEdPsy course at UEL, colleagues and I are seeking participants for our research into EPs’ values and their impact on use of assessment tools. EPs working in the UK are eligible to take part and we would be so grateful! forms.office.com/e/kbDBmm9nWc

My thesis looking into self regulated learning in secondary schools.

Having a focus on processes rather than content in learning situations helps a wider range of learners develop a sense of competence. 😊

Me in the WSJ today, arguing that the relationship between social media and mental health is not clear cut, and bans for teenagers aren't the answer.

(NB I did not pick this title, I would have gone for something kinder. I understand why people are worried.)

Great discussion Re the EP role, & representation.
Mainly people who are supported by parents or partners able to apply. Limiting diversity.
I waited ~15 years to apply as 1yr masters changed to 3 yr doctorate. I’d stayed as P/T so the training fees were nearly a match to my income.
Join us as we watch Dr Shyla Barclay and Dr Jason Apaloo-Shonibare (TEPICC founding member) - two incredible EPs breaking barriers and inspiring the next generation of changemakers.

Watch as trailblazing EPs share their authentic journey and show why representation matters.
