Thanks so much ASPIRE (Australian Social Prescribing Institute of Research and Education) for allowing me to share my keynote reflections on youth social prescribing: learning from the UK on practice and research
@ucl-sbb.bsky.social
Kicking off #ESCAP with some jazz
First plenary: Tom Osborne: Accessible, community-based youth mental health at scale: what can Africa teach us?
Youth mental health difficulties have increased in prevalence (rather than better awareness) and key drivers likely include economic precarity, smartphone use, sleep quality and closure of youth services. An excellent piece of research led by @olademk.bsky.social
Excited to announce that I have been appointed to Principal Research Fellow within @ucl-sbb.bsky.social. It’s an honor to work at such a great university with wonderful colleagues and a fantastic team. Very much looking forward to all the new social prescribing work we have planned.
