It's been a great first year at Oxford EDGE Lab, and a privilege to work with this wonderful group of students and visiting researchers.
Our first two students to complete their degrees have both graduated with distinctions: congratulations @mikaeladizon.bsky.social & @olenakhailenko.bsky.social! 🎉

🇳🇴 Ny kronikk: Innvandrere er mer åpne for #psykisk #helsehjelp enn vi tror – og enn de tror selv.
🇬🇧 New op-ed: Migrants in Norway are more open to #mental #healthcare than we assume – and than migrants themselves assume.

Innvandrere er mer åpne for psykisk helsehjelp enn vi tror – og enn de tror selv
Hvis mange med innvandringsbakgrunn i realiteten er mer åpne for psykisk helsehjelp enn de gir uttrykk for, ligger løsningen kanskje i å synliggjøre denne tause åpenheten.

Migrants from non-EEA+ regions were less likely to seek professional mental health help than non-migrants, but only at high psychological distress levels, and especially when they did not recognise symptoms as a mental health problem.

Main take-away messages from Day 0 #GSMERH2025:
Migration health needs networks not silos, real community engagement, & research that serves policy & people. Shift the narrative from burden to resilience, root work in anti-racism & solidarity, and protect the next generation of researchers. 🌍

Day 0 GSMERH 2025 take-away: We don’t necessarily need more evidence on migrant health. We need to use what we already know differently and with more focus on engaging communities @gsmerh.bsky.social

At GSMERH 2025 @gsmerh.bsky.social Day 0, migration health networks took the stage. From MiHSA to MHADRI (largest migration network globally): networks matter, check them out and join them!

The Duke Humphrey’s library in Oxford is hands down the most beautiful place I’ve ever sat down to work!
Also became very aware that I was surrounded by books that are essentially older than my entire discipline 📚

Findings suggest that men’s willingness to seek help for mental health is underestimated not only by other men but women too. Lower willingness to disclose help-seeking may play a role!
