In this conversation, Professor Susan Young explores what it means to understand ADHD through the lens of the teenage brain. Adolescence is a period of rapid change, marked by increased risk-taking, emotional intensity, and a drive for novelty—characteristics that are also central to ADHD. She considers what happens when these developmental processes intersect, and how to distinguish between what is typical, what is neurodivergent, and what may be misunderstood.

Professor Young reflects on how ADHD presents and evolves across adolescence and into young adulthood, challenging dominant narratives, including debates around overdiagnosis and late identification. She also examines more complex and often overlooked issues in practice, such as the relationship between ADHD and trauma, risk-taking behaviours including substance use, and pathways into the criminal justice system.

The discussion moves beyond theory to consider what works in practice, including how clinicians can better engage young people in evidence-based interventions such as CBT, and what practical changes can make a meaningful difference. Overall, this conversation brings together research, clinical experience, and real-world challenges to better understand and support neurodivergent young people.

Learning Objectives
A. To understand ADHD through the lens of adolescent development
B. To recognise areas of debate and uncertainty in ADHD (e.g. diagnosis, trauma, risk)
C. To identify practical approaches to supporting and engaging young people

How smart is a phone ban, really? With the UK's under-16s social media ban confirmed for spring 2027 and mobile phones now expected to be banned from every English school day by default, this episode of Mind the Kids tackles one of the biggest parenting and policy debates of our time: what does the evidence actually say about smartphones, social media and children's mental health?

Hosts Dr. Jane Gilmour (Honorary consultant clinical psychologist and child development programme director at UCL) and Professor Umar Toseeb (Professor of Psychology at the University of York) are joined by Professor Lisa Henderson from the University of York, author of two Child and Adolescent Mental Health Journal papers: "Digital Safeguarding Incidents in Schools With and Without Smartphone Policies" and "Innovations in Practice: A Pilot Randomised Trial on Smartphone and Social Media Abstinence."

In this episode we unpack:
– What the UK's social media ban for under-16s actually means for platforms like TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Snapchat
– Why comparing the UK ban to Australia's isn't a fair like-for-like comparison
– New pilot RCT data on smartphone and social media abstinence, sleep quality and wellbeing in adolescents
– What happens to digital safeguarding incident reporting when schools introduce phone policies
– The "lost generation" risk — teens already embedded in social platforms navigating an abrupt policy shift
– Why parental phone habits predict children's smartphone use
– The "Goldilocks" amount of social media time, and why moderate use isn't the enemy

If you work in education, child psychology, safeguarding, or you're a parent trying to make sense of the smartphone ban headlines, this conversation goes well beyond the soundbites.

In this interview, Dr. Jane Gilmour talks to Mairéad Foody, Assistant Lecturer in Psychology at University of Galway, Ireland.

Bullying is a harmful experience for many children and young people, affecting their mental health, relationships, and wellbeing into adulthood.

This talk will help listeners understand what bullying and cyberbullying are, and why they happens. It will discuss the impact of victimisation on children and adolescents and it will outline the different roles involved in bullying/cyberbullying situations (not just bullies and victims, but also bystanders and defenders).

Overall, the goal is to provide a clearer picture of how complex bullying and cyberbullying really are and why effective responses must consider individuals, peer groups, families, and schools together.

Learning Objectives
A. To understand what bullying and cyberbullying are and their prevalence.
B. To outline the impact of bullying and cyberbullying on children and adolescents.
C. To describe anti-bullying interventions.

Why do so many young people with ADHD find it harder to bounce back from difficult emotions — and what can actually help?

This episode of the Mind the Kids podcast features Professor Aja Murray, Professor of Developmental Psychology of Mental Health at the University of Edinburgh's School of Philosophy, Psychology and Language Sciences. Aja's research examines mental health across the lifespan, with a particular focus on the links between ADHD symptoms and co-occurring mental health issues such as anxiety and depression, especially during adolescence.

Hosted by Mark Tebbs, the conversation explores the Mental Health in the Moment ADHD (MHIM-ADHD) programme of research, funded by the Medical Research Foundation, conducted with colleagues including Dejla Hoxha and Daria Melashenko at the University of Edinburgh and Amanda Russell at Northumbria University, alongside guidance from the project's young person and lived-experience advisory group.

The discussion opens by unpacking two key terms: ADHD, characterised by difficulties with attention, hyperactivity and impulsivity and diagnosed in up to around 8% of children and adolescents globally, and emotion dysregulation, the breakdown of the processes people use to identify, manage and respond to their emotions. Aja explains how emotion dysregulation, while not a core symptom of ADHD, is a commonly associated feature that can show up as intense or changeable emotions, emotions that take longer to settle, or emotionally driven behaviour such as lashing out.

Drawing on ecological momentary assessment methods that capture emotion regulation as it unfolds in daily life, alongside longitudinal data, Aja shares findings on how emotion dysregulation sits on the pathway between ADHD symptoms and elevated risk of anxiety and depression, and how patterns like rumination are a particularly important feature of this pathway. The conversation also explores rejection sensitivity dysphoria — the tendency to anxiously or angrily anticipate social rejection — a concept gaining significant attention within the ADHD community. The project's lived-experience advisory group specifically recommended including a measure of rejection sensitivity, informed by broader work on co-producing adolescent mental health research with young people (Health Expectations). Findings show rejection sensitivity dysphoria is linked to more negative emotions day to day, but that positive peer interactions can buffer this effect, pointing to peer acceptance as a promising avenue for support.

Aja also sets out practical, evidence-based strategies for adolescents with ADHD and the adults who support them, including cognitive reappraisal, techniques for interrupting rumination, acceptance, square breathing, and the "grounding" 5-4-3-2-1 technique. The conversation covers the crucial role of parents and caregivers in modelling emotion regulation, understanding how the ADHD brain processes emotion, and responding supportively rather than dismissively to emotional expression — plus a look at positive emotion regulation, including noticing, savouring and sharing good moments. Aja closes with an update on the team's emerging work on teacher relationships, autistic traits, and a co-produced digital emotion regulation app for adolescents with ADHD.

This conversation is essential listening for clinicians, researchers, educators, and parents and caregivers interested in child and adolescent mental health, ADHD, emotion regulation, and rejection sensitivity dysphoria. It offers a clear, hopeful message: emotion regulation is a skill that can be learned, practised, and strengthened over time.

This episode of the Mind the Kids podcast features Susan Swingler, a researcher at the University of Oxford's Department of Social Policy and Intervention. Her research focuses on how young people respond to chronic stress and violence exposure in low- and middle-income country contexts, and how this shapes mental health and behavioural development through adolescence.

Hosted by Mark Tebbs, the conversation explores a landmark near two-decade longitudinal study built on data from the Thula Sana birth cohort in Khayelitsha, South Africa.

The discussion centres on adolescent conduct problems — persistent patterns of aggression and rule-breaking that place young people at higher risk of anti-social behaviour and poorer mental health. Susan explains why violence exposure between the ages of 12 and 14 is best understood in context rather than as an individual failing, and outlines how the study tracked adolescents from early into late adolescence using both self-report and caregiver-report measures across a community shaped by decades of structural disadvantage.

Drawing on one of the longest-running adolescent cohort studies in a high-adversity setting, Susan shares the study's central finding: violence exposure in early adolescence predicted higher conduct problems both at the time and four years later in late adolescence, even after accounting for broader socioeconomic hardship — while the reverse pathway, from conduct problems to later violence exposure, was not statistically significant. The conversation also explores exploratory sex differences in these pathways, the extraordinary effort required to retain 70% of the original cohort across 20 years, and what genuinely contextually grounded violence prevention could look like using the WHO's INSPIRE framework.

This conversation is essential listening for clinicians, researchers, educators, and policymakers interested in child and adolescent mental health, developmental psychopathology, and violence prevention in low-resource settings. It offers both rigorous longitudinal evidence and a clear message: adolescence is not too late for intervention, and understanding the context around a young person's behaviour is key to changing it.

In this episode of Inside the Teen Brain, Takako Yeung explores how neuroscience can inform everyday teaching practice. Drawing on more than twenty years of experience driving systemic change in education, Takako discusses how the adolescent brain's heightened sensitivity to social and emotional cues makes the student–teacher relationship a powerful lever for both wellbeing and academic attainment. In conversation with Dr Jane Gilmour, Takako reflects on what it means to truly value and believe in each young person, and how that belief shapes the way teachers respond, set expectations, and support students through the ups and downs of adolescence. Her insights offer a thoughtful look at how small shifts in practice can make a lasting difference.

Learning Objectives
A. To understand how the adolescent brain's heightened sensitivity to social and emotional cues shapes learning and influences academic attainment.

B. To explore how strong student–teacher relationships can be built and used to support young people's wellbeing, motivation, and engagement.

C. To consider practical strategies for setting appropriately high expectations and supporting students through challenges without fuelling stress or perfectionism.

Dr. Jane Gilmour returns with Inside the Teen Brain. In this episode Jane talks to Dr. Victoria Pile about depression.

This talk explores the presentation, recognition, and psychological intervention for depression in adolescence, a developmental period marked by heightened vulnerability and significant opportunity for intervention. Depression commonly emerges during adolescence and is associated with substantial long-term consequences, including social and academic impairment.

Despite its prevalence and impact, the majority of young people with depression do not receive timely or effective support. The talk highlights how adolescent depression is often under-recognised, perhaps due to its overlap with developmental changes and its heterogeneous clinical presentation.

Recent work that highlights central symptoms of depression is discussed. Current treatment approaches are described and evidence explored that suggests many established interventions show only modest efficacy, and a substantial proportion of young people do not respond. In response, emerging approaches are discussed that aim to improve both access and effectiveness. These include school-based delivery models and the co-development of treatments with young people.

Finally, the talk considers a shift toward targeting specific symptoms and psychological mechanisms, such as self-compassion, sleep, and emotional mental imagery. Novel interventions are presented as promising avenues for improving outcomes. Overall, the talk suggests a more developmentally informed, accessible, and mechanism-focused approach to addressing adolescent depression.

Learning Objectives

To understand the presentation and challenges of recognising adolescent depression.
To appreciate the effectiveness and limitations of current psychological interventions for adolescent depression
To explore emerging, developmentally informed approaches to intervention

Dr. Jane Gilmour returns with Inside the Teen Brain. In this episode Jane talks to Dr. Victoria Pile about depression.

This talk explores the presentation, recognition, and psychological intervention for depression in adolescence, a developmental period marked by heightened vulnerability and significant opportunity for intervention. Depression commonly emerges during adolescence and is associated with substantial long-term consequences, including social and academic impairment.

Despite its prevalence and impact, the majority of young people with depression do not receive timely or effective support. The talk highlights how adolescent depression is often under-recognised, perhaps due to its overlap with developmental changes and its heterogeneous clinical presentation.

Recent work that highlights central symptoms of depression is discussed. Current treatment approaches are described and evidence explored that suggests many established interventions show only modest efficacy, and a substantial proportion of young people do not respond. In response, emerging approaches are discussed that aim to improve both access and effectiveness. These include school-based delivery models and the co-development of treatments with young people.

Finally, the talk considers a shift toward targeting specific symptoms and psychological mechanisms, such as self-compassion, sleep, and emotional mental imagery. Novel interventions are presented as promising avenues for improving outcomes. Overall, the talk suggests a more developmentally informed, accessible, and mechanism-focused approach to addressing adolescent depression.

Learning Objectives

To understand the presentation and challenges of recognising adolescent depression.
To appreciate the effectiveness and limitations of current psychological interventions for adolescent depression
To explore emerging, developmentally informed approaches to intervention

This episode of the Mind the Kids podcast features Dr. Laura Gorla, a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Child and Family Policy at Duke University. Originally from Italy and now based in the United States, Dr. Gorla's research focuses on parenting, parent-child relationships, and child and adolescent mental health from early childhood through late adolescence.

Hosted by Mark Tebbs, the conversation explores a landmark three-generation study built on data from the Fast Track intervention, conducted with colleagues Dr. Rotenberg, Dr. Godwin, and the Conduct Problems Prevention Research Group, alongside Fast Track principal investigators Dr. Jennifer Lansford and Dr. Kenneth Dodge.

The discussion centres on early emerging conduct problems — persistent patterns of aggressive and disobedient behaviour that place children at higher risk of anti-social behaviour, criminal involvement, and mental health difficulties later in life. Dr. Gorla explains the theory of intergenerational transmission of violence, describing how cycles of harm can pass from one generation to the next, and outlines how this study uniquely tracked three generations — grandparents, parents, and children — using prospective rather than retrospective data, a rare advance in this field of research.

Drawing on Fast Track, one of the most influential randomised controlled trials in developmental psychology, Dr. Gorla shares the study's central finding: intimate partner violence in the first generation predicted parent-child violence in the second generation, which in turn led to poorer mental health in the third generation — but only within the control group. Crucially, this negative chain was disrupted among families who received the Fast Track intervention, offering compelling evidence that early, multi-component prevention can break cycles of violence across generations.

This conversation is essential listening for clinicians, researchers, educators, and policymakers interested in child and adolescent mental health, early intervention, and violence prevention. It offers both rigorous longitudinal evidence and a genuinely hopeful message: outcomes for children are not predetermined by family history, and investment in early intervention protects not just today's children, but generations to come.

This episode of the Mind the Kids podcast features Lilja Jónsdóttir, a PhD student at the Department of Psychology at Uppsala University, Sweden, who will shortly take up a postdoctoral research position in child and adolescent psychiatry at Uppsala's Department of Medical Sciences.

Hosted by Mark Tebbs, the conversation explores her paper, Examining Early Inhibitory Control and Emotional Regulation as Predictors of Childhood Internalizing and Externalizing Problems: A Longitudinal Study, co-authored with her supervisor Professor Karen Brocki, co-supervisors Dr. Matilda Frick and Dr. Andreas Frick of Stockholm University, and fellow PhD researcher Emma Heemann.

The discussion unpacks the hierarchical development of self-regulation, examining how simpler skills such as inhibitory control — the ability to override an automatic impulse, illustrated through the classic marshmallow test — feed into more complex abilities like emotion regulation. Drawing on data from the long-running Effect Project, a longitudinal study following 94 typically developing children in Uppsala from infancy, Lilja explains how inhibitory control was measured at age four using the day-night Stroop task, emotion regulation was assessed at age six via validated parent-report measures, and internalizing and externalizing problems were captured at nine to ten years using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire.

Contrary to prior research and theoretical expectations, the study found no link between early inhibitory control and later emotion regulation or behavioural outcomes. Instead, emotion regulation at age six emerged as a robust, transdiagnostic predictor of both internalizing problems (such as worry and withdrawal) and externalizing problems (such as impulsivity and defiance) three to four years later — a finding that held even within a relatively advantaged community sample, strengthening the case for universal, early support.

This conversation is essential listening for clinicians, educators, and parents interested in child development, self-regulation, and early intervention. Lilja discusses the importance of co-regulation between caregivers and children, promising directions for emotion-regulation-focused support, and why publishing null results — such as the absence of an inhibitory control effect here — matters for advancing the field.

Dr. Clark shares findings from her recently published paper in JCPP Advances, ACAMH's open-access research journal, co-authored with Dr. Vanessa Ball and Dr. Katherine Lord. Drawing on the Longitudinal Study of Autism (LSA) — tracking autistic individuals from ages 2–3 through to their mid-twenties — the study examines how daily living skills develop across the lifespan in autistic individuals, both with and without a co-occurring intellectual disability.

Daily living skills — the practical abilities that underpin independent adult life — are broken down into three domains: personal skills (hygiene, dressing, grooming), domestic skills (cooking, household chores), and community skills (managing money, navigating public spaces, vocational readiness). These are the skills that shape autism outcomes across education, employment, and quality of life, yet they have been chronically under-researched, particularly for autistic individuals with co-occurring intellectual disability.

The headline finding is striking: approximately 80% of autistic individuals with co-occurring intellectual disability demonstrated daily living skills equal to or stronger than their measured cognitive ability — directly challenging the widespread assumption that adaptive behaviour in autism is constrained by IQ. Developmental trajectories between groups were indistinguishable up to age five, clearly differentiated by age nine, and those differences strengthened into adulthood.

Dr. Clark and Mark discuss why domestic skills represent the most promising early intervention target, why community skills are the hardest to move, and how schools, IEP goals, and caregivers can reshape expectations to create opportunity-rich learning environments for autistic young people. The conversation closes with a look ahead at Dr. Clark's next research phase — examining individual skills for adults with profound autism and the caregivers who support them.

A must-listen for anyone working in autism education, autism support, early intervention, or child and adolescent mental health.

Emma, a PhD researcher working across multiple institutions including Trinity College Dublin, the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, and University College Cork, shares findings from her groundbreaking work using the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) — one of the world's leading pregnancy cohort studies — to develop a multivariable prediction model for childhood mental health outcomes at age seven.

With children's mental health rising sharply across Europe and England — from one in eleven in 2017 to one in five by 2023 — Emma makes the case for why a preventative, early intervention approach is not just desirable but essential. The conversation covers the growing global burden of childhood mental health disorders, the critical difference between prediction and causation in research, and why psychosocial and socioeconomic factors consistently emerge as the strongest predictors of later poor mental health.

Emma also unpacks a striking finding from her PhD: that fine motor skills measured at just 18 months can predict mental health outcomes at age seven — a discovery with significant implications for early childhood development and infant mental health services.

From the ethics of predictive modelling and the risk of labelling children, to what a tiered, community-based early intervention system could look like in practice, this episode offers a rich, evidence-based discussion for clinicians, researchers, policymakers, and anyone passionate about improving outcomes for children and young people.

Dr. Krause shares findings from her recently published paper in JCPP, the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry. The paper — a scoping umbrella review — systematically maps 80 instruments used to measure life impact in youth mental health research across three interconnected domains: functioning, quality of life, and well-being. Despite major international core outcome set initiatives — including ICHOM and In-ROADS — consistently identifying functioning and quality of life as critical outcomes alongside symptoms, no consensus exists on which instruments to use, and the landscape remains highly fragmented.

The rationale runs deeper than methodology. Outcomes measurement in child and adolescent mental health is foundational to evidence-based, person-centred care. Symptom severity and life impact do not always move in step — the DSM-5 itself requires both symptom threshold and clinically significant impairment for diagnosis, yet instruments frequently conflate the two constructs, making it difficult to track which improves first in treatment and whether the gains that matter most to young people are being captured. Across the 80 instruments identified, the review found wide variation in informant type, length, age range, and developmental setting. More than a quarter were classified differently across reviews — a consequence of unclear construct definitions, limited co-production with young people, and what the paper terms "jingle-jangle fallacies." A notable gap emerges for the 19–24 age group navigating the transition from CAMHS to adult services, for whom no instrument has been specifically validated.

Clara and Karolin discuss why functioning and life impact deserve dedicated measurement separate from symptom scales, the case for self-report over adult-observer-dominated measures, the trade-offs of multi-informant approaches, and a Wellcome-funded project focused on the development of an evidence synthesis platform for patient-reported outcome measure selection aimed at making evidence-based instrument choice more accessible to researchers worldwide”

Dr. Reardon shares findings from her recently published paper in JCPP, the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, co-authored with colleagues. Drawing on the My Cats cluster randomised controlled trial, the study recruited children aged four to seven identified as being at heightened risk for anxiety disorders through schools across England. The intervention — known as OSI (Online Support and Intervention for Child Anxiety) — is a parent-led, therapist-supported online cognitive behavioural therapy programme, in which parents work through digital modules of approximately 20 minutes each, supported by brief telephone or video calls with a children's wellbeing practitioner, amounting to around two and a half hours of contact time in total.

The research sits against a backdrop of a growing gap between the need for child mental health support and access to evidence-based care. CAMHS thresholds are high, and many families cannot access help until difficulties are already entrenched — yet anxiety disorders in children can onset as early as age five and a half. Schools offer a distinctive opportunity to reach families before problems escalate, and England's Mental Health Support Teams (MHSTs) represent a trained, scalable future workforce for delivering this type of early intervention in child mental health.

The primary outcome — anxiety disorder diagnosis at 12 months — showed fewer diagnoses in the intervention group, though the difference did not reach statistical significance. All secondary outcomes were statistically significant, however, including reductions in child anxiety symptoms, inhibited temperament, parental anxiety, and targeted child and parent behaviours. Approximately three quarters of families completed the programme — a notably strong completion rate for a school-recruited, at-risk population who were not actively help-seeking. Qualitative findings, forthcoming, point to broader ripple effects within families beyond the targeted outcomes.

Clara and Tessa discuss why schools were chosen as the recruitment setting; why the integrated practitioner calls in therapist-supported online CBT appear central to completion rates compared with fully self-guided approaches; and what the findings mean for scaling school-based mental health intervention. The conversation also turns to a key challenge ahead — addressing inequalities in participation, particularly among families from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds, to ensure the benefits of parent-led CBT reach those who need them most.

A must-listen for anyone working in child anxiety prevention, early intervention, school-based mental health, CBT for young children, CAMHS, or child and adolescent mental health.

Host Clara Faria is joined by Dr. Emma Thornton (University of Manchester) and Professor Danielle Matthews (University of Sheffield) to discuss their research published in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry. Using data from the UK Millennium Cohort Study, they examines whether children with the same early language skills achieve similar GCSE outcomes, and how socioeconomic circumstances influence that trajectory.

The findings challenge simple meritocratic assumptions. While stronger vocabulary at age five predicts better educational attainment overall, this relationship varies significantly across socioeconomic groups. Children from disadvantaged backgrounds have markedly lower chances of achieving key GCSE benchmarks—even with strong early language skills—while those from more advantaged backgrounds are more likely to succeed regardless of early ability.

This conversation unpacks the implications for early intervention, education policy, and equity in child development. It also highlights the need for more targeted, evidence-based support for families and schools, and a deeper understanding of the mechanisms linking early cognitive skills to long-term outcomes.

Alina shares findings from her JCPP Advances paper ‘Sleep disturbance as a transdiagnostic marker of children's mental health difficulties: A network analysis of item-level associations between different types of sleep problems and different behavioural and emotional symptoms'.

The study draws on data from the Development of Emotional Resilience observational cohort — a school-based sample of over 500 primary school children aged 7 to 12 from East London, one of the most ethnically diverse and economically deprived urban cohorts in UK child mental health research.

Using network analysis — a powerful statistical approach that maps relationships between symptoms simultaneously — the study examines how specific sleep problems relate to emotional difficulties (anxiety and depression) and behavioural difficulties (hyperactivity, inattention, and conduct problems) in middle childhood, moving beyond the composite sleep scores that have dominated previous research.

The headline finding is striking: sleep anxiety and general anxiety emerge as the most central, influential nodes in the network — sitting at the core of children's emotional and behavioural difficulties and functioning as a transdiagnostic mechanism across multiple mental health conditions. Emotional symptoms were found to be more tightly interwoven with sleep problems than behavioural symptoms, a developmentally meaningful finding with direct implications for how we assess and treat sleep disturbances in primary school-aged children.

Alina and Clara discuss what this means for school-based mental health intervention, why sleep should no longer be treated as a secondary or peripheral feature of child mental health, and how a modular, targeted approach focusing on sleep-related anxiety could benefit children, parents, educators, and clinicians alike. The episode closes with a preview of Alina's next research phase: a longitudinal network analysis tracking whether these core sleep and anxiety symptoms remain stable over time.

Essential listening for anyone working in child mental health, sleep research, school-based intervention, or child and adolescent psychiatry.

Depression and difficulties in relating to others are known to co-occur during adolescence, yet most prior research has examined differences between individuals rather than changes within the same person over time. This study followed 543 adolescent girls from the Pittsburgh Girls Study across four annual waves (mean ages 16.5–19.3 years), using random intercept cross-lagged panel models to separate stable individual traits from intraindividual fluctuations.

Results showed that within-person increases in depressive symptoms predicted subsequent increases in overly nurturant and socially avoidant problems, while depressive symptoms and domineering problems predicted one another reciprocally over time. These findings clarify the intraindividual dynamics linking depression to specific interpersonal patterns, and highlight domineering behaviour as a potential early intervention target.

Learning Outcomes
1. Understand the distinction between between-person and within-person associations when studying the link between depressive symptoms and interpersonal problems in adolescent girls.

2. Identify which interpersonal problem domains — specifically domineering, overly nurturant, and socially avoidant tendencies — show longitudinal within-person associations with depressive symptoms over time.

3. Recognise the clinical implications of monitoring intraindividual changes in depressive symptoms as an opportunity to prevent downstream effects on social functioning in adolescence.

Professor Kenworthy shares findings from her landmark study, Executive Function Challenges Persist into Young Adulthood and Predict Mental Health Outcomes in Autism, published in JCPP — ACAMH's flagship peer-reviewed journal. Drawing on over 300 autistic individuals and more than 900 observations spanning ages 2 to 25, this is one of the most comprehensive longitudinal investigations into executive function trajectories and mental health outcomes in autism to date.

The episode unpacks what executive functions are — the brain-based cognitive abilities governing flexibility, working memory, and impulse control — and why they matter so profoundly for the mental health of autistic young people. With approximately 70% of autistic children and 63% of autistic adults experiencing mental health challenges at any given time, Professor Kenworthy explains why understanding the relationship between executive dysfunction and depression and anxiety in autism is not just academically important, but urgent.

Among the most striking findings: executive function challenges — particularly cognitive inflexibility — remain clinically elevated from early childhood all the way through young adulthood, persisting even in young people who have had access to clinical support. Anxiety symptoms worsen significantly for autistic girls, with measurable divergence from their male peers emerging around age 12 — a finding with major implications for autism diagnosis, gender differences in autism, and targeted mental health intervention.

Professor Kenworthy also shares her work developing Unstuck and On Target, a school-based executive function intervention designed to be delivered by educators — not just clinicians — addressing the urgent need for scalable, real-world, evidence-based autism support in schools. The conversation covers participatory research, the 12-year evidence-to-implementation gap, the limits of existing interventions including ABA, and why autistic voices must be central to the future of autism research and intervention design.

Essential listening for clinicians, researchers, educators, and anyone with a stake in autism mental health, early intervention, and neurodevelopmental research.

Dr. Park examines whether concerns about climate change represent a distinct psychological construct or are simply an extension of generalised anxiety. The discussion unpacks the difference between affective climate worry—emotional responses to climate change—and cognitive climate worry, which reflects more developed fears about future impact. Importantly, the findings suggest that climate worry is not only common among younger adolescents but may also have unique associations with wellbeing, independent of general anxiety.

The episode also highlights key developmental, social, and gender-related factors shaping how young people experience climate-related distress. Dr. Park discusses why girls and gender-diverse adolescents may report higher levels of climate worry, and considers how clinicians, educators, and parents can respond without over-pathologising what may be a rational reaction to the climate crisis.

This conversation is essential listening for clinicians, researchers, and educators interested in child and adolescent mental health, particularly those working with anxiety, emotional development, and the psychological impact of global challenges. It also offers practical insight into how to support young people in managing climate-related concerns through adaptive coping and resilience-building strategies.

Learning Objectives
1. Examine the proportion of adolescents with weight and shape concern.
2. Determine how these concerns relate to the desire for weight loss support.
3. Explore how these patterns vary across demographic factors including age, gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status.
4. Investigate whether weight concern independently predicts desire for weight-related support, and whether this relationship is moderated by demographic characteristics.
5. Address a key evidence gap in adolescents' support preferences, helping stakeholders understand the current landscape and to inform future interventions and public health strategy.

In this Mind the Kids episode ‘Delivering School Intervention: Culture, Context and Conflict’ we explore how research can really work for children and young people in the real world, not just on paper.

Dr. Jane Gilmour and Professor Umar Toseeb sit down with Professor Jean Francois Trani to delve into a classroom based psychosocial intervention delivered in rural Afghan primary schools during a period of political upheaval.

Together, they unpack how an international research team and local community partners co designed and delivered a universal, school based programme that aimed to improve mental health, boost learning, and reduce stigma in a setting marked by decades of conflict. They discuss what it means to adapt activities to local culture, the difference between accumulated and intergenerational trauma, and why task shifting to trained community members can be so powerful in low resource settings.

If you’re interested in community led interventions, global South research, or how universal school provision can support both wellbeing and inclusion, you won’t want to miss this.

In this episode of Mind the Kids, titled ‘Regular sleep, the balm of hurt minds’, Dr. Konstantin Drexl joins hosts Dr. Jane Gilmour and Professor Umar Toseeb, to unpack the science of adolescent sleep: from what terms like chronotype, circadian rhythm and REM sleep really mean, to how sleep loss and anxiety feed into each other in everyday life.

Together, they explore why regular sleep can act as a protective factor for some young people, why others seem especially sensitive to even small disruptions, and what this might mean for school start times, smartphones at bedtime, and whole family sleep hygiene. Whether you are a parent, teacher, clinician or researcher, this conversation offers clear, practical insights into how supporting teenage sleep could be one of the simplest ways to support teenage minds.

This video provides a concise overview of the CAMH 2025 special issue, Physical Environmental Influences on Psychosocial Outcomes in Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults. Guest editors Dr Keri Wong, Dr Marta Francesconi, and Dr Steven Papachristou introduce the issue’s goals: to explain the growing relevance of this topic, summarise key findings, and challenge common misconceptions about the built environment. Drawing from diverse urban and rural examples, the video explores how factors such as green and blue spaces, air and noise pollution, walkability, housing quality, and neighbourhood design influence mental health along a continuum—from emotional regulation and cognitive growth to social connectedness and diagnosable disorders. The special issue brings together psychologists, architects, public-health experts, and urban planners through interdisciplinary collaborations, and centres youth-led, participatory research that anchors findings in lived experience. Highlighting original studies, action research, systematic reviews, debates, and commentaries, this collection offers new evidence, identifies critical gaps, and models how to co-design health-promoting environments with young people. In doing so, it reframes the physical environment not as a passive backdrop, but as an active contributor to mental wellbeing across the lifespan.

Learning Objectives
A. To understand how specific features of the physical built environment (green and blue space, air and noise quality, housing and street design) influence psychosocial outcomes in children, adolescents, and young adults.
B. To distinguish the built environment from social or individual factors, and to debunk common misconceptions about what “counts” as an environmental exposure in mental-health research.
C. To evaluate interdisciplinary, youth-led research models that bridge psychology, planning, public health, and design, illustrating how shared data and co-creation can enrich evidence and practice.

In this Mind the Kids episode, Dr. Foteini Tseliou joins hosts Dr. Jane Gilmour and Prof Umar Toseeb to discuss the paper 'Factors Associated with Better Emotional, Behavioural and Educational Outcomes in Children with Mild Intellectual Disabilities'.

They highlight three big messages: many children with mild intellectual difficulties are in mainstream schools and may not be formally identified; peer relationships emerge as one of the strongest protective factors across outcomes; and it is the accumulation of support across home, school and friendships that seems to matter most, rather than any single intervention on its own.

At the same time, the conversation makes clear that outcomes are not fixed by IQ. With the right support, many children with mild intellectual difficulties can do well, and the protective factors that help them often help other children too – which makes a strong case for universal, inclusive provision rather than waiting until problems become severe.

Dr Helen MacIntyre and Helayna Jenkins take you through the contents of our their guide to loneliness among children and young people at school. Based on research evidence, it includes a brief recap of what severe loneliness is and its negative impacts on social, emotional and educational outcomes for young people. It then provides a framework to support schools to think about how to address loneliness among their students, particularly at the organisational, classroom and interpersonal levels. Useful, practical resources are signposted throughout.

Part 2 of this talk looks at how Primary, Secondary and Sixth form pupils have been discussing the topic of loneliness through a workbook delivered by the Principal Loneliness Champion from the London Borough of Bromley. Over 2,500 pupils have taken part in a workbook session. The workbooks looks to support pupils to know more about loneliness, to support themselves or others around them by normalising loneliness.

Learning Objectives
A. To understand loneliness among young people and children at school and why it is problematic
B. To be better equipped to understand the kind of approaches and actions that will help to reduce loneliness among school students
C. To be informed of resources to use in the classroom to discuss and normalise loneliness

In this talk, Shannon Shaughnessy examines how exposure to green, blue, and gray spaces is associated with the development of psychopathology in early adolescence. Physical environments are linked to adolescents’ well-being in various ways: green and blue (natural) spaces may protect against psychopathology, while gray (urban) spaces may confer risk. Drawing on four waves of data (ages 9–13) from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study (N = 11,866, 47.8% female), Shannon analyzes how residential proximity to different types of space relates to mental health symptom trajectories over time. At each wave, parents rate youths’ mental health across domains of total, externalizing, and internalizing problems. Using latent growth curve models, she explores associations between environmental exposures and symptoms at baseline and over time. Shannon discusses how green and gray space exposure may be positively and negatively related to adolescents’ psychosocial development, while highlighting the potentially greater influence of demographic factors such as gender and socioeconomic status. Through this presentation, viewers gain insights into the nuanced role that environmental exposures may play in shaping young people’s mental health—and why green and gray spaces deserve greater attention in public health and policy efforts.

Learning Objectives
A. To understand the importance of considering covariates when investigating associations between the physical environment and youth mental health
B. To identify important next steps for both researchers and professionals in terms of youth and their access to green, blue, and gray spaces
C. To identify key methodological considerations when designing future research studies on the physical environment and youth mental health

In this talk, Carla Sharp explains the field’s shift following the publication of the DSM-5 Alternative Model for Personality Disorders (AMPD), moving from a symptom-based view of personality pathology to a dimensional diagnostic system that includes functioning. She highlights how this shift is embodied in Criterion A—the Level of Personality Functioning (LPF)—and describes its particular importance for understanding the development of personality pathology in adolescence and for reducing stigma associated with personality disorder. Carla Sharp also discusses the translational implications of this dimensional approach, including how it informs more precise assessment and more developmentally sensitive treatment for adolescents with personality-related challenges.

Dr Ron Dodzro & Dr Amber Qureshi explore the psychological impact of community violence, focusing on its role in the development of trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). They unpack the complexities of trauma exposure in community settings, including chronic exposure, vicarious trauma, and the cumulative effects of living in environments shaped by structural inequality and racialised harm. The conversation highlights how community violence affects people’s mental health and development, and the particular vulnerabilities faced by those from marginalised backgrounds. Drawing on clinical and community-based practice, the presenters discuss effective trauma-informed approaches, barriers to accessing mental health care, and the importance of culturally responsive, locally grounded support. This session aims to enhance understanding of how community violence contributes to trauma and PTSD, while offering practical strategies for better engagement and care.

Learning Objectives
A. To understand the psychological impact of community violence and its role in the development of trauma and PTSD
B. To identify the unique challenges faced by individuals, particularly young people, exposed to chronic community violence
C. To explore trauma-informed and culturally responsive approaches for supporting individuals affected by community violence
D. To recognise systemic and structural barriers to mental health access in communities impacted by violence

In this Mind the Kids episode “Adolescence and Appearance. AI eat your words”, Dr. Florence Sheen talks to hosts Dr. Jane Gilmour and Prof Umar Toseeb.

They highlight three big issues: we rarely know what sources the chatbot is drawing on; there is no built in safeguarding link back to parents, schools or services; and its list style “here’s what to do” responses may particularly appeal to perfectionistic or rigid thinkers, potentially fuelling disordered behaviours rather than challenging them.

At the same time, young people are using AI alongside social media and official sites in quite a savvy way – they might go to the NHS for physical symptoms, but to chatbots for lived experience and emotional validation – so opinion and evidence are constantly blended. Florence, Jane, and Umar argue this makes digital literacy crucial: talk openly with young people about what they see, encourage them to check information against other sources, and model responsible use rather than banning AI outright.

They also call for independent, transparent evaluation of any AI tools aimed at youth mental health, and for developers to work with researchers, clinicians and people with lived experience so that future systems are both safer and better able to support real-world wellbeing.

In this Mind the Kids episode 'Trauma responsive care: It's all about me', hosts Dr. Jane Gilmour and Professor Umar Toseeb, talk with Dr. Sarah Parry, University of Manchester, about what trauma actually is, how it overlaps with adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), and why simply “totting up” ACEs scores can miss the individual context and meaning of events for each young person.

They explore the principles that should underpin good practice with all children and adolescents – consistency, curiosity, low emotional tone, and sensitivity to triggers – and ask whether these should be seen as core to high-quality care rather than an “add‑on” labelled trauma-informed.

The discussion moves from definitions to practice: Sarah unpacks the difference between being “trauma-aware”, “trauma-informed” and “trauma-responsive”, arguing that truly responsive care must be embedded across whole organisations and systems, not just in the therapy room. Drawing on her work in residential care and with young people who hear voices, she highlights the importance of framing, coping strategies, choice, safety, and timing in talking therapies, as well as the potential harms of blame and poorly timed debriefing after traumatic events.

The episode also touches on intergenerational and indirect forms of trauma, links with cultural humility, and how environments can be shaped so that all young people – including those in care or from marginalised communities – can engage and recover.

Whether you are a clinician, researcher, educator, or caregiver, this conversation offers a nuanced, practical look at moving beyond buzzwords toward everyday, trauma-responsive environments that genuinely support young people’s mental health.

Drawing on a powerful real-world case that sparked Umar’s interest, they ask: when is inpatient care really needed, what does a good ward environment look like, and how does admission affect young people and their families over time?

Jane and Umar are joined by Dr Dawn Cutler, Principal Clinical Psychologist, and Guy Larrington, Principal Family Therapist at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, who discuss:

Which kinds of difficulties typically lead to admission (including mood disorders, suicidality, eating disorders, and functional symptoms)

How clinicians weigh up risk, severity, and functioning when considering admission

What day-to-day life on a child and adolescent inpatient ward looks like, including education, structure, and relationships with staff

The role of nursing, family involvement, and “shared care” in creating a therapeutic environment

How goal-based outcomes can capture what matters most to young people and their families

The episode also touches on neurodiversity in inpatient settings, systemic inequalities in who is detained, and the transdiagnostic skills and therapeutic relationships that can support recovery across diagnoses. This is a practical, reflective conversation for clinicians, researchers, and anyone wanting to better understand inpatient child and adolescent mental health care.

Drawing on a large multi-site randomised controlled trial of 185 families, they discuss how ASSIST weaves together national-level information on adult disability services with local expert input, how moving the programme online during COVID reshaped both accessibility and peer support, and what the data show about changes in parents’ advocacy skills, service knowledge and actual access to government-funded programmes. The conversation also looks ahead to next steps, including using the ASSIST curriculum to train peer navigators, tackling structural barriers such as underfunding and provider shortages, and ensuring that efforts to boost advocacy do not inadvertently widen existing inequities.

While investigating multisite pain and sex differences, her team stumbled on a problem: researchers using ABCD data were often relying on a convenient categorical puberty score (pre‑, early, mid‑, late, post‑puberty) that drops information and heavily weights the onset of menstruation, rather than using a richer continuous score based on all five pubertal development items. Their analyses show the continuous score is generally more reliable, better aligned with existing puberty research, and less distorted by big “jumps” around menarche, especially for girls.​

The conversation becomes a wider call to action: if puberty timing and tempo can shape lifelong trajectories in mental health, pain, and social experiences, then getting the measurement wrong risks misleading conclusions and missed opportunities for prevention. Adriene urges researchers to be thoughtful and transparent about how they score puberty in large datasets, to report clearly what they used, and to remember that puberty is a normative but highly sensitive transition where context, culture, and support all matter just as much as hormones.

Far from blaming mothers, the episode situates these risks in a wider context of poverty, limited opportunity, and unresolved trauma, and leans into hope rather than inevitability. Dr Min makes a compelling case for pregnancy and the early postnatal period as a “golden window” for support – from practical help and non judgemental social networks to community and faith groups that wrap around both parent and child – showing that with the right support, intergenerational patterns of harm can be disrupted and futures can be changed.

The conversation reveals two major pathways: first, mothers who experienced more childhood maltreatment tend to struggle more with their own mental health, making it harder to stay emotionally available, regulate feelings, and use calm, consistent parenting – all of which is linked to greater anxiety, low mood, and acting out behaviours in their 12 year olds. Second, prenatal exposure to substances such as cocaine, alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana appears to alter developing brain systems involved in stress, independently increasing the risk of externalising behaviour.

Drawing on their JCPP study of over 6,000 children in the ALSPAC cohort, they follow a developmental cascade that starts with early gross motor milestones like sitting and crawling, moves through culturally shaped self-care and pretend-play skills like using a spoon or hosting a tea party, and then flows into vocabulary and grammar between 15 and 38 months.

Along the way, they unpack how genetics and environment intertwine, why social interactions and playful routines act as gateways into language rather than just nice “add-ons,” and what this might mean for parents, carers, clinicians and educators who want to support communication in both autistic and non-autistic children.

Marie-Pier shares insights from a major international study exploring the connection between early attention difficulties, mental health, and academic achievement.

The discussion highlights the power of early support, the role of teachers and parents, and why understanding these genetic clues can help children reach their full potential—both in the classroom and beyond.

In this talk, Dr. Kate Liu examines the lasting effects of untreated postnatal depression. While SSRIs are commonly recommended for moderate to severe postnatal depression, concerns about their long-term safety in children create hesitations in treatment. To address this, she presents a study tracking over 60,000 mother-child pairs in Norway, investigating the impact of postnatal SSRI use on children’s emotional, behavioral, motor, and language development over the first five years of life. Her study design overcomes key limitations of previous research, providing a more comprehensive and reliable understanding of long-term child outcomes following postnatal SSRI use.

To address this, she presents a study tracking over 60,000 mother-child pairs in Norway, investigating the impact of postnatal SSRI use on children’s emotional, behavioral, motor, and language development over the first five years of life. Her study design overcomes key limitations of previous research, providing a more comprehensive and reliable understanding of long-term child outcomes following postnatal SSRI use.

In this interview, Dr. Nicole Harris synthesizes findings from 22 studies examining the impact of nature-based activities on children and young people's sense of nature connectedness and their learning behaviors. She begins by presenting the background of the literature review, explaining what the team hoped to learn and why this topic holds personal, professional, and broader research significance. Dr. Harris then discusses the key findings, highlighting how these insights might inform future practice in educational and developmental settings. She also reflects on the challenges encountered during the review process and the complexities involved in interpreting the data. Central to her message is the idea that there are multiple ways schools and organizations working with children and young people can foster a connection to nature, which in turn supports positive learning behaviors. To help professionals build on this knowledge, Dr. Harris offers a practical framework for designing and monitoring action research aimed at deepening our understanding of how nature connectedness benefits children and young people.

Learning Objectives
A. To understand the types of activities that can support children and young people to connect with nature, which can also support the development of their behaviours for learning.
B. To understand the range of benefits that can come from supporting children and young people to connect with nature, especially in the context of their behaviours for learning.
C. To recognise some of the limitations around the current evidence base
D. To understand how educators could carry out their own action research, to help build an evidence base exploring the impact of nature-based interventions, delivered in schools, on nature-connectedness and behaviours for learning.

Host Mark Tebbs talks to Dr. Georgina Hosang about the topic of hypomania, as she draws on her expertise and research. The conversation unpacks what hypomania can look like at home and at school, how it overlaps with typical mood swings and ADHD, and other conditions, and which red flags suggest it’s time to seek specialist help.

Listeners will hear practical guidance on what parents, carers, teachers, and young people themselves can watch for, how to talk about concerns without stigma, and why early recognition matters for safety, learning, and long term wellbeing.

This episode is for anyone supporting adolescents who seem unusually “switched on”, wired, or risk taking – and who wants clear, compassionate advice on when to simply ride the wave, and when to seek assistance.

Drawing on new research, host Mark Tebbs speaks to David Gagnon, and Dr. Alexia Ostrolenk, on this topic, and their JCPP paper.

With minimally speaking autistic children, the discussion explains what unexpected bilingualism is, why it challenges traditional ideas about the role of social interaction in language learning, and how it can reveal an alternative pathway into language.

Listeners will hear how parents first notice these surprising language skills, why they may be both confusing and hopeful, and what this means for supporting communication and designing interventions. The episode offers clear take home messages for families, educators, and clinicians on recognising hidden abilities, following a child’s interests (from letters and numbers to YouTube subtitles), and rethinking “plateau” periods as times of invisible but important development.

The episode explores how sleep impacts emotional memory consolidation in anxious youth during this sensitive developmental period. Liga highlights key findings, explaining that “sleep plays an active role in shaping how young people perceive and generalize negative experiences, especially in those with higher anxiety.” She further notes, “higher anxiety severity in youth is associated with greater negative memory generalization after sleep, which could help us understand the mechanisms behind anxiety disorders.”

Together they explore why adolescence is a ‘perfect storm’ for irritability, how it shows up in daily life at home and at school, and when persistent anger, conflict, and moodiness start to impair sleep, friendships, and learning. Jamilah shares findings from a large multinational study of adolescents across nine countries, revealing how common chronic irritability is worldwide and how it links to bullying, depression, anxiety, and lower life satisfaction.

The conversation also unpacks gender differences, classroom red flags for teachers, and why clinicians are beginning to treat irritability as a transdiagnostic “front door” signal that deserves earlier screening and support.

Whether you are a parent, educator, or clinician, this episode offers practical ways to spot when irritability has tipped from typical teen behaviour into something that may need specialist help.

In this talk, Clare Harrop explores the lesser-known aspects of autism, with a specific focus on understanding the female autism phenotype. She addresses how historically, autism has been predominantly studied and understood through a male lens, leading to a lack of knowledge about the unique experiences and challenges faced by autistic females. Harrop highlights recent research emphasizing the importance of exploring gender differences in autism to bridge the gap in diagnosis and provide appropriate support. She discusses how societal norms and gendered expectations contribute to the underdiagnosis and delayed recognition of autism in females, often leading to the masking of autistic traits. By recognizing and understanding the nuances between males and females on the autism spectrum, Harrop suggests that we can better identify and address the specific needs of autistic females. She emphasizes the importance of considering the female autism phenotype in research and clinical practice, including studying the developmental trajectories and key life transitions of autistic females, and identifying supportive interventions. As the gender ratio in autism narrows, Harrop underscores the growing need to unravel the complexities of the female autism phenotype, improve diagnosis rates, enhance support systems, and ensure autistic females have the resources needed to thrive.

Learning Objectives
A. To understand female autism phenotype and its significance in the field of autism research and clinical practice
B. To recognise the impact of gendered expectations and societal norms on the underdiagnosis and delayed recognition of autism in females
C. To gain knowledge about the nuanced and subtle differences between males and females on the autism spectrum, and how these differences may contribute to delayed or underdiagnosis in females

Assistant Professor Erin Schoenfelder Gonzalez discusses how children with ADHD are at higher risk than other children for developing unhealthy behaviours related to sleep, physical activity, and screen media use. These behaviours can worsen over time and contribute to long-term health risks. She explores the development of health risks in individuals with ADHD and focuses on ways caregivers can promote positive health habits for their children early in life. Schoenfelder Gonzalez also addresses how exercise can help boost attention and focus, and the importance of screen limits in helping children with ADHD find balance.

Learning Objectives
A. To learn which health behaviours differ for children with ADHD
B. To understand how health behaviours are interconnected and contribute to long-term health risks
C. To recognise ways that parents can help children with ADHD develop strong health behaviours

The conversation explores how legalization affects availability and accidental exposures, the potency of cannabis products, and the challenges of regulation and safety. Listeners hear about the social and environmental factors influencing adolescent behavior, the balance of risks and potential benefits, and practical insights into harm reduction. Importantly, the episode emphasizes the need for data-led, non-judgmental approaches to understanding and responding to cannabis use among youth in a changing policy environment. It provides valuable takeaways for academics, clinicians, parents, and policymakers interested in child and adolescent mental health within the context of evolving cannabis laws.

Dr Nina Higson-Sweeney joins Dr. Jane Gilmour and Professor Umar Toseeb in an open, insightful discussion that blends lived experience with the latest research. The conversation encourages listeners to look beyond clichés—emphasising that fatigue is not simply ‘being tired’ but a profound, subjective exhaustion that rest does not alleviate, and which profoundly affects motivation, self-concept, and daily activities.

Personal accounts reveal fatigue as both a physical and mental force—sometimes striking without warning, often unseen by others, yet disruptive to education, friendships, and self-esteem. Listeners learn how this ‘all-encompassing’ symptom can generate feelings of guilt and social isolation, exacerbated by misunderstandings from peers and even healthcare professionals. The episode adeptly explores the blurred distinctions between fatigue, tiredness, and executive function challenges such as procrastination, considering how depression complicates these concepts.

The discussion further examines how current therapies address fatigue—whether they focus on general depression or also reduce fatigue as a distinct symptom. Nina’s research offers promising insights: whether through psychoeducation, cognitive behavioural therapy, or psychoanalytic methods, treating depression in adolescence can alleviate fatigue; however, more nuanced, targeted interventions may yield even better outcomes.]]>https://app.pigeonpod.cloud/feed/2094970319746412546/episode/2094970846419529845Tue, 30 Dec 2025 09:02:23 +0000iyuThis episode ‘Depression Symptoms - Should Fatigue be in the Major League?’ extends well beyond clinical perspectives to offer a vivid, human portrayal of what fatigue truly means for young people experiencing depression.

Dr Jane Gilmour and Professor Umar Toseeb are joined by clinician researcher Professor Francisco Musich to step inside the therapy room and examine how it actually feels for autistic children and adolescents with co occurring conditions to navigate CAMHS support.

Across the conversation, they move beyond theory and guidelines to the lived details that make or break engagement: the speed and style of language, the sensory impact of the clinic environment, and how far therapists are willing to adapt around special interests, alternative media and different processing speeds.

Along the way, they weigh personal clinical instincts against a still emerging evidence base, asking which accommodations genuinely improve outcomes and which might be comforting but ineffective, and what this means for designing neurodiversity affirming, research informed care.

Drawing on her clinical work with families in crisis, Erin explores what happens in a child’s brain and body during a meltdown, why these episodes are so common in neurodivergent children, and how screens, sleep, and anxiety can create a ‘perfect storm’ for explosive behaviour. She offers practical, evidence-informed strategies for parents and teachers, including how to respond in the moment, why “doing less” can sometimes de-escalate faster, and how to use meltdowns as opportunities to build emotional literacy instead of shame.

The conversation also previews Erin’s upcoming ACAMH webinar, ‘Mastering Meltdowns: Managing Big Feelings in Kids’, and highlights why emotional competence should be treated as just as fundamental as learning to read. This episode is essential listening for parents, carers, educators, and clinicians supporting children whose emotions sometimes feel bigger than they are.

Together, they delve into whether the use of diagnostic labels such as ADHD, autism, and dyslexia should continue or if it is time to reconsider their role. The discussion explores the challenges and benefits of these terms, as well as the deeper philosophical questions surrounding how such classifications shape understanding, support mechanisms, and young people’s identities.

They examine the current framework used: communication and interaction, cognition and learning, social, emotional and mental health difficulties, and sensory and physical needs. It considers the impact these labels have on children’s educational provision and inclusion, weighing them against a potential shift towards a needs-led system that might allow for a more personalised and human-centred approach.

Drawing from both professional experience and current research, the conversation reflects on the delicate balance between the necessity of shared terminology for effective communication and the risk that such labels may oversimplify complex individual needs or contribute to stigma.
This episode invites listeners to reflect on how best to support neurodiverse young people within education, ensuring their unique strengths and challenges are both recognised and respected without losing sight of their individuality.

It offers fresh perspectives for academics, practitioners, families, and educators alike on the practice of diagnosis, its effects on young people, and the possibilities for creating a more inclusive and supportive educational environment.]]>2522falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/mind-the-kids-does-minor-aggression-have-a-major-impact--74903581
Dr. Jane Gilmour and Professor Umar Toseeb are joined by Dr. Hedwig Eisenbarth from Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand, the lead author of the paper The Impact of Less Severe Intimate Partner Aggression on Child Conduct Problems, published in JCPP Advances. This paper focuses on lower levels of violence, so they use phrases like ‘minor’ or ‘less severe’. This phraseology, of course, does not imply that they are considered acceptable.

They explore how attachment theory, social learning, and even genetic factors may intersect with a child’s experience of aggression in the home. The discussion covers the importance of the home environment, the need for intervention, and the complex challenge of studying these behaviours across different cultures.

In this episode, “Neurotypes, Genotypes, and Phenotypes,” our hosts Professor Umar Toseeb and Dr. Jane Gilmour invite Dr. Laura Hegemann to talk about her JCPP paper ‘Direct and indirect genetic effects on early neurodevelopmental traits’ and the wider implications of the topic.
Laura unravels why understanding genetic influences isn’t about fate or fatalism; it’s a nuanced story of possibility, risk, and hope. Her research offers powerful new insights: the mix of direct genetic effects and subtle environmental influences, and why “knowledge is power” for clinicians and parents trying to support neurodiverse children. You’ll hear candid reflections on why communicating these findings is fraught with risks and responsibilities—and stories of families who find both challenge and strength in their inherited traits.

As you listen, expect real talk: about how early intervention makes a difference, why neurodevelopmental traits can be both a challenge and a gift, and how science can help us support—not stigmatise—those on different developmental paths.

This isn’t just another academic debate; it’s a conversation about how research shapes practice and lives. So settle in for a journey through dilemmas, discoveries, and transformative moments in child behavioural genetics. The story starts here.

Drawing from the landmark IMPACT trial (the largest UK study of its kind with 465 participants), Professor Goodyer reveals surprising insights that challenge decades of therapeutic orthodoxy. Using cutting-edge network analysis, his team discovered that the key drivers of recovery aren't what therapists predicted—they're fatigue and insomnia, not the psychological symptoms clinicians typically focus on.

What You'll Learn
• The Common Factors Debate: Why CBT, psychoanalytic therapy, and brief psychosocial intervention showed no significant differences in outcomes
• The Speed of Recovery: Why most young people improved faster than any therapy manual predicted (often in just 6-12 sessions instead of 20-30)
• Network Science Meets Mental Health: How symptoms influence each other over time—and why this changes everything about diagnosis and treatment
• The Sleep Connection: Why addressing fatigue and insomnia might be more crucial than we realized for adolescent depression
• The Role of Time: Why recovery continues for 12 months after therapy ends, with remarkably low relapse rates

Why This Matters
This isn't just an academic debate. These findings have profound implications for:
• Clinicians: Rethinking assessment priorities and treatment planning
• Trainees: Understanding what really drives therapeutic change
• Researchers: Opening new avenues for investigating mental health interventions
• Policy makers: Allocating resources more effectively in child and adolescent mental health services
Perfect for: Clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists, researchers, students, and anyone interested in what really works in mental health treatment—and why.

Host Mark Tebbs speaks with Dr. Nathan Hodson, child and adolescent psychiatrist and researcher at the University of Warwick, whose work explores how financial incentives might help bring more parents into these transformative programmes. Drawing on behavioural economics and evidence from a systematic review and meta-analysis, Nathan and Mark delve into one of the field’s most pressing challenges: engagement.

As they discuss, the question isn’t whether parenting support works—the evidence is clear that it does—but how to ensure families facing the toughest circumstances can access and stay with it. Could small, well-targeted incentives help remove barriers such as transport, childcare, or lost work time? And what does it mean for equity, motivation, and policy design?

This episode is as much about compassion as it is about data. It’s a conversation that asks us to see every parent not as “hard to reach,” but as balancing complex lives where practical help can make all the difference. Whether you’re a policymaker, practitioner, or researcher, you’ll find insight here into how behavioural nudges and empathy might work hand in hand to build fairer, more effective systems of support.

In this episode of Mind the Kids, ‘Home fae Home: Hot Chocolate Helping Trauma’ we step into the heart of a community transformed by compassion, creativity, and co-design.

Join host Mark Tebbs as he meets the passionate team on a remarkable project; Charis Robertson, Anne McKechnie, Gary Kennedy, and Lindsey McIntosh—experts from diverse backgrounds including community development, clinical psychology, architecture, and design.

Hear how the Hot Chocolate Trust in Dundee — a grassroots organisation that for over 25 years has offered refuge and belonging to young people often on the margins.

Through a remarkable collaboration between youth workers, trauma-informed psychologists, architects, and designers, this episode explores an inspiring journey of transforming a historic church building into a sanctuary designed by the young people themselves. Using innovative and playful methods, the team engaged these youths in the co-creation process, listening deeply to their stories, needs, and visions to shape a space that truly feels like their own.

Hear the stories of small moments that sparked big change — from impromptu pancake parties to spray paint workshops — and discover how trauma-informed practice goes beyond therapy to embrace community, trust, and empowerment. This is about creating safe spaces that honour identity, choice, and belonging, where healing happens naturally through connection and creativity.

Whether you’re a youth worker, mental health professional, designer, or simply someone who believes in the power of community, this episode offers a deeply human perspective on how to listen, engage, and build environments that help young people not just survive, but thrive.

Welcome to the Mind the Kids podcast series. In this episode host Mark Tebbs invites listeners to step into the world of assessment through both the lens of rigorous research and lived experience.

Mark is joined by Dr. Salah Basheer and Dr. Sue Fen Tan, whose review article in the Child and Adolescent Mental Health journal ‘The acceptability and effectiveness of standardised diagnostic assessment approaches in children and young people's mental health services – an updated systematic review’ asks: can SDAs provide clarity and fairness for families, protect against missed diagnoses, and support clinicians facing daunting demand and stretched resources? Mark and his guests reflect on what’s needed to turn hope into lasting change: robust research, authentic collaboration, and the courage to keep listening to every child’s story.

As Salah reflects, “We are not talking about these tools replacing clinical practice—we’re asking whether, used as an add-on, they can help clinicians provide the right care at the right time.” Sue Fen Tan, meanwhile, reminds us that, “A tool is only as good as its real-world application. If clinicians and families don’t find it user-friendly and meaningful, it won’t make a difference. Empathy and the human touch must remain at the heart of clinical care.”

Whether a clinician, policymaker, or someone passionate about mental health, listeners leave with new questions, practical insights, and the reminder that the path to better outcomes is built as much on compassion as on evidence.

Welcome to the Mind The Kids podcast series. Today’s episode, ‘Navigating Early Risk How Kindergarten Shapes Childhood Outcomes’, explores how early childhood risks such as poverty, family stress, and developmental delays influence children’s outcomes in school, and how positive experiences in kindergarten can protect children as they grow older.

Your host Mark Tebbs —a lifelong advocate for mental health and currently Chief Executive of a leading charity focused on community wellbeing. In this episode Mark is joined by Dr. Katharina Haag, senior researcher at the Norwegian Institute for Violence and Traumatic Stress Studies, to discuss her recent paper published in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry (JCPP), “Navigating Early Risk: Differential Outcomes in Middle Childhood and the Compensatory Role of Kindergarten Experiences”. https://acamh.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/jcpp.14158

As Dr. Haag explains: “We know that close relationships with teachers, and social play in kindergarten, were linked to better outcomes across the board, regardless of the child’s risk profile.” Mark and Katharina reflect on what Norway’s universal, high-quality kindergarten system means for other countries grappling with unequal access and persistent childhood inequalities. Mark asks the questions every parent and policymaker has wondered: Can early education truly level the playing field? What does it take to translate hope into lasting change? And, most importantly, what practical lessons can be applied wherever children grow up?

Findings can be found in ACAMH’s Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry – JCPP - ‘An online, father-inclusive parenting intervention for reducing child conduct problems: a randomised controlled trial of family man’ https://doi.org/10.1111/jcpp.14068

Dr. Tully, a senior lecturer and clinical researcher, shares her passion for early intervention in child mental health and her commitment to making evidence-based parenting support accessible. She highlights a key gap in the field: most parenting programs are designed for and tested with mothers, leaving fathers underrepresented and under-engaged.

The conversation explores the barriers fathers face in accessing traditional parenting programs—such as cost, work commitments, lack of awareness, and persistent gender stereotypes—and how Family Man was purpose-built to address these issues. Developed in partnership with the Movember Institute, Family Man is a brief, self-directed, animated program that uses humor and relatable scenarios to engage fathers (and mothers) in learning effective strategies for managing children’s challenging behaviors.

A randomized controlled trial found that parents who completed Family Man reported significant improvements in their child’s conduct, parenting practices, and family wellbeing—benefits that were sustained over time and equally experienced by both mothers and fathers. The program’s online, accessible format and father-focused branding were key to its success.
Dr. Rice emphasizes the importance of policy changes to support father involvement, such as better paternity leave and organizational practices that actively engage dads.

Findings can be found in ACAMH’s Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry – JCPP - ‘An online, father-inclusive parenting intervention for reducing child conduct problems: a randomised controlled trial of family man’ https://doi.org/10.1111/jcpp.14068

Dr. Tully, a senior lecturer and clinical researcher, shares her passion for early intervention in child mental health and her commitment to making evidence-based parenting support accessible. She highlights a key gap in the field: most parenting programs are designed for and tested with mothers, leaving fathers underrepresented and under-engaged.

The conversation explores the barriers fathers face in accessing traditional parenting programs—such as cost, work commitments, lack of awareness, and persistent gender stereotypes—and how Family Man was purpose-built to address these issues. Developed in partnership with the Movember Institute, Family Man is a brief, self-directed, animated program that uses humor and relatable scenarios to engage fathers (and mothers) in learning effective strategies for managing children’s challenging behaviors.

A randomized controlled trial found that parents who completed Family Man reported significant improvements in their child’s conduct, parenting practices, and family wellbeing—benefits that were sustained over time and equally experienced by both mothers and fathers. The program’s online, accessible format and father-focused branding were key to its success.
Dr. Rice emphasizes the importance of policy changes to support father involvement, such as better paternity leave and organizational practices that actively engage dads. Both guests call for ongoing research, longer-term follow-up, and a cultural shift to make father engagement "core business" in child mental health.

Dr. Harris explains that nature connectedness is about developing a meaningful, emotional bond with the natural world—a connection that supports not only cognitive skills like attention, but also social skills and self-regulation. Drawing on theories such as attention restoration, stress reduction, and the emerging polyvagal theory, the conversation unpacks how nature can help calm the nervous system, making children more ready to learn and engage.

The discussion highlights practical, low-cost ways schools and communities can nurture nature connectedness, from art projects and gardening to simply lying in the grass and noticing the world. Importantly, Dr. Harris emphasizes that these activities need not require wild landscapes; even small, local green spaces can make a difference.

The episode also addresses the real-world barriers schools face—curriculum pressures, time constraints, and inequitable access to green space—arguing for a systems approach and policy changes to ensure all children benefit. Dr. Harris notes that children in more deprived areas have less access to nature, making it even more vital to embed nature connectedness into the curriculum for equity and long-term planetary health.

Listeners will learn about the links between nature connectedness and pro-environmental behaviours, the complex relationship with eco-anxiety, and the potential for nature-based activities to support children with special educational needs. The conversation ends with a call to see ourselves as part of nature, not separate from it, and to recognize that reconnecting with the natural world is essential for both personal and planetary wellbeing.

In this episode, Inside the Teen Brain: A Second Chance, Professor Rosie Meek explores the role of risk-taking, peer influence, and emotional regulation in adolescence, particularly among young people in the criminal justice system. She discusses how participation in structured sports programmes can provide a positive outlet for frustration, improve emotional regulation, and foster transformative changes in identity. Drawing on qualitative findings and real-world examples, Professor Meek highlights how sports settings create opportunities for young people to develop discipline, teamwork, and trust—skills that can translate into healthier behaviours and reduced conflict. The conversation also emphasizes the importance of mentoring and collaborative, youth-centred approaches to engage at-risk adolescents and help them reset their life paths.

In this Video Abstract, Dr. Michelle Sader discusses her co-authored JCPP paper ‘Neural correlates of children with avoidant restrictive food intake disorder symptoms: large-scale neuroanatomical analysis of a paediatric population’. Avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) is a recently recognised feeding and eating disorder and is characterised by a lack of interest and motivation to eat. Despite burgeoning research, few studies to date have explored the underlying neurobiology of ARFID. Research examining the neural underpinnings of ARFID can greatly assist in understanding different mechanisms that play disorder-specific roles.

Learning Objectives
1. An overview of ARFID and existing neuroimaging research on ARFID.
2. Determine whether altered brain morphology is associated with ARFID symptomatology.
3. Evaluate and compare brain morphology in children with and without ARFID.

1. That autistic people lack empathy
2. Autism is a 'boy thing'
3. People can grow out of being autistic
4. Everyone is a little bit autistic
5. The 'spectrum' is linear.

Amy Pearson uses contemporary evidence to challenge these misconceptions and advocates for a modern perspective that promotes a more informed and inclusive understanding of autistic individuals. Her talk emphasizes the importance of discarding outdated notions and embracing a more progressive approach to autism.

Andrés then provides insight into the kind of experiences that were described in the script that the participants watched, before Jose explains what a race by intervention interaction entailed in the context of this research.

Andrés and Doron share additional findings, including the importance of the exposure and dissemination of people’s lived experiences in terms of stigma, before Andrés and Jose discuss the implications of their findings for CAMH professionals working with racially stigmatized groups.

Furthermore, we hear about follow up research, including their work with transgender youth as well as using TikTok to help reduce stigma and to encourage people to seek help.]]>1617falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/climate-change-related-worry-engagement-and-mental-health--74903609https://doi.org/10.13056/acamh.19805

In this podcast, we are joined by Dr. Emma Sciberras, Associate Professor in the School of Psychology at Deakin University in Melbourne, Australia, and Dr. Julian Fernando, a lecturer in the same department.

The focus of this podcast is on their co-authored paper, ‘Climate change-related worry among Australian adolescents: an eight-year longitudinal study’ (doi: 10.1111/camh.12521) , published in the CAMH 2022 Special Issue on ‘Child and youth mental health & the global ecological crisis’.

Emma and Julian begin by providing an overview of their paper, detailing the methodology used, and sharing some of the key findings.

Whilst the paper determined that both the high persistent and increasing worry group reported greater engagement with news and politics, only those in the persistent worry group had higher depression symptoms. Emma and Julian provide insight into how they differentiated between high persistent and increasing worry, and discuss whether those with increasing worry are on a trajectory to become persistently worried.

Emma and Julian also discuss how the relationship between engaging with the news and politics and levels of worry and depression feed into one another and explore whether greater societal engagement is a healthy way of managing eco anxiety.

Following their finding that worrying about climate change may be associated with poorer mental health, but also greater political engagement, Emma and Julian share their advice for young people and their parents, comment on the implications of their findings for professionals working with young people and their families, plus reflect on what message policy makers should take from their findings.]]>https://app.pigeonpod.cloud/feed/2094970319746412546/episode/2094970851440111628Wed, 10 Apr 2024 13:13:49 +0000iyuDOI: 10.13056/acamh.19805 https://doi.org/10.13056/acamh.19805 In this podcast, we are joined by Dr. Emma Sciberras, Associate Professor in the School of Psychology at Deakin University in Melbourne, Australia, and Dr. Julian Fernando, a lecturer in...https://doi.org/10.13056/acamh.19805

Dr. Seonaid Anderson will be talking to leading players in the field, rising stars of research, clinicians, and experts by experience. In this podcast we speak to Dr. Tara Murphy, Consultant Paediatric Neuropsychologist and Clinical Psychologist at Great Ormond Street Hospital. Dr. Murphy currently co-leads the Tic Disorder Service and Paediatric Neuropsychology Service.

The focus of this podcast is on cultural differences in tics and tic disorders.

Tara begins by providing an overview of what tic disorders and Tourette’s syndrome are, before exploring the gender bias of Tourette’s syndrome and what other co-morbidities or co-occurring conditions can occur alongside it.

With a number of misunderstandings existing about this condition, Tara comments on the issue of swearing and Tourette’s syndrome, and discusses research into self-harm and suicidality in the Tourette’s syndrome community.

Tara then explores whether there are differences between cultures or countries in terms of the expression of Tourette’s syndrome and shares why she is interested in researching tics and Tourette’s syndrome in different cultures or countries.

Tara also comments on a recent paper entitled “Why Don’t Children in Uganda Have Tics? A mixed-methods study of beliefs, knowledge and attitudes of health professionals”. She then discusses why Tourette’s syndrome may be just as prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa or in certain communities but access to services and health care may make it appear under-represented.

There is an overview of the paper, methodology, key findings, and implications for practice.

Discussion points include:

- The definition of ‘social camouflaging’ and ‘masking’, how it typically manifests, and how it relates to social anxiety in autistic adolescents.
- Safety behaviours in social anxiety in autistic and non-autistic adolescents.
- How participants were recruited and engaged using cartoon-like stop-motion videos.
- Gender differences that emerged.

Andrew is the first author of the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry (JCPP) paper ‘Psychological legacies of intergenerational trauma under South African apartheid: Prenatal stress predicts greater vulnerability to the psychological impacts of future stress exposure during late adolescence and early adulthood in Soweto, South Africa’ (doi: 10.1111/jcpp.13672), which is the focus of today’s podcast.

Andrew sets the scene by providing a brief introduction of how he came to be interested in this area of research, before turning to the paper itself and sharing a brief overview of the paper.

Andrew discusses the methodology used, including the challenges faced during the data collection, and shares the main findings from the paper.

Andrew then expands upon two interesting findings; the first being the finding that social support did not moderate the association between prenatal stress and psychiatric outcomes, and the second being that the prenatal stress exposure during apartheid is not directly associated with greater psychiatric morbidity during late adolescence.

With maternal age and past household adversity having been found to have an impact, Andrew also elaborates on these findings and their implications.

Furthermore, Andrew shares what the implications are of his findings for CAMH professionals, and comments on what role we should all be playing in recognising and addressing the ongoing legacies of colonialism, structural violence, and historical traumas, such as apartheid, in order to prevent future mental health inequities from emerging.]]>https://app.pigeonpod.cloud/feed/2094970319746412546/episode/2094970855948988596Fri, 05 Apr 2024 12:42:47 +0000iyuDOI: 10.13056/acamh.21594 https://doi.org/10.13056/acamh.21594 In this podcast, we are joined by Dr. Andrew Wooyoung Kim, Assistant Professor in biological anthropology at the University of California.

In this podcast, we talk to Professor Catherine Ward of the Department of Psychology at the University of Cape Town, South Africa, and winner of ACAMH’s Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry (JCPP) Journal Best Paper Award 2021.

Catherine, and colleagues, won ACAMH’s 2021 award for JCPP Journal Best Paper for their paper, published in 2020, on ‘Parenting for lifelong health for young children: A randomized controlled trial of a parenting program in South Africa to prevent harsh parenting and child conduct problems’. Catherine sets the scene by explaining what winning the award meant to her, and what, in her view, made the trial itself, and the paper, so successful.

In this podcast, we talk to Professor Catherine Ward of the Department of Psychology at the University of Cape Town, South Africa, and winner of ACAMH’s Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry (JCPP) Journal Best Paper Award 2021.

Catherine, and colleagues, won ACAMH’s 2021 award for JCPP Journal Best Paper for their paper, published in 2020, on ‘Parenting for lifelong health for young children: A randomized controlled trial of a parenting program in South Africa to prevent harsh parenting and child conduct problems’. Catherine sets the scene by explaining what winning the award meant to her, and what, in her view, made the trial itself, and the paper, so successful.

Catherine details her work involving evidence-based approaches designed to reduce the likelihood of children becoming aggressive, and provides insight into another key strand of her work, which focuses on preventing child maltreatment and understanding the epidemiology of risk factors faced by South African children.

For this podcast, we are joined by Dr. Catharina Hartman, Associate Professor of Psychiatric Epidemiology at the Interdisciplinary Centre of Psychopathology and Emotion Regulation (ICPE) at the University Medical Centre, Groningen, and Deputy Editor-in-Chief of our Open Access journal, JCPP Advances.

Catharina’s research team aims to advance the understanding of the onset, and course, of childhood onset psychiatric disorders and uses data from longitudinal studies to explore the interplay between genetics, behavioural and environmental factors.

Catharina has (co-) authored over 200 peer reviewed papers, and in this podcast, highlights some of the studies and findings that have had the greatest influence or are especially important to her, as well as provides insight into what barriers exist when translating research into practice.

Catharina talks us through some of her recent work with the CoCA (Comorbid Conditions of ADHD) project, and discusses what CoCA is, its overall goal, and why it is important for researchers and clinicians, who work in CAMH, to also think about prevalence and comorbidity in adults.

Furthermore, Catharina also discusses our Open Access JCPP Advances journal and details the importance of Open Science and rapid publication for the research community, in particular for those working in child and adolescent mental health.]]>https://app.pigeonpod.cloud/feed/2094970319746412546/episode/2094970855948988503Fri, 05 Apr 2024 09:41:01 +0000iyuDOI: 10.13056/acamh.18841 https://doi.org/10.13056/acamh.18841 For this podcast, we are joined by Dr. Catharina Hartman, Associate Professor of Psychiatric Epidemiology at the Interdisciplinary Centre of Psychopathology and Emotion Regulation (ICPE)...https://doi.org/10.13056/acamh.18841

In this podcast, we talk to Professor Mark Tomlinson of the Department of Global Health Institute for Life Course Health Research, Stellenbosch University in Stellenbosch, South Africa.

The focus of this podcast is on the JCPP paper, ‘First 1,000 days: enough for mothers but not for children? Long-term outcomes of an early intervention on maternal depressed mood and child cognitive development: follow-up of a randomised controlled trial’ (doi.org/10.1111/jcpp.13482).

Mark is the lead author of this paper and sets the scene by providing insight into what prompted his interest in both young people’s mental health and, in particular, the impact of maternal depression on infant and child development.

Mark talks us through what his paper looks at, why he decided to research this area, highlights the methodology used in the paper, and shares his findings.

Mark then provides further insight into the finding that, although the paper describes how caregivers who received a home visiting intervention during their pregnancies and postpartum did show lasting improvements in depressed mood, and that the intervention was also associated with mothers being more sensitive and less intrusive in their interactions with their infants and to a higher rate of secure infant attachment at 18 months, there was a lack of long-term developmental benefit for the children.

Furthermore, Mark also discusses what message professionals, researchers, and policymakers should take from his findings, and provides additional information with regard to follow up research.]]>https://app.pigeonpod.cloud/feed/2094970319746412546/episode/2094970855948988572Fri, 05 Apr 2024 09:25:54 +0000iyuDOI: 10.13056/acamh.18654 https://doi.org/10.13056/acamh.18654 In this podcast, we talk to Professor Mark Tomlinson of the Department of Global Health Institute for Life Course Health Research, Stellenbosch University in Stellenbosch, South Africa....https://doi.org/10.13056/acamh.18654

In this Papers Podcast, Charlotte Viktorsson, a PhD student at the Development and Neurodiversity Lab, Department of Psychology, Uppsala University, Sweden, discusses her JCPP paper ‘Preferential looking to eyes versus mouth in early infancy: heritability and link to concurrent and later development’ (doi.org/10.1111/jcpp.13724).

Charlotte is the first author of the paper.

There is an overview of the paper, methodology, key findings, and implications for practice.

Discussion points include;

- Why it is important to establish the relative role of genetic and environmental influences on eye preference relative to mouth preference in early infancy.
- What are the implications of what infants look at being largely based on their individual genotype, before they can select their environment by means of crawling or walking.
- Preference for eyes at 5 months was positively correlated with parent’s assessment of vocabulary at 14 months.
- No significant association was found between mouth or eye preference and later socio-communication difficulties, nor later autistic traits.
- How might these findings inform future practice or influence the way we think about infant development.
- How does an infant paying more attention to the eyes, compared to those that pay more attention to the mouth, appear to translate into later communication skills and learning?

Background
Young people in out‐of‐home care are substantially more likely to meet criteria for PTSD than their peers, while their early maltreatment exposure may also place them at greater risk of developing the newly proposed complex PTSD. Yet, there remains limited empirical evidence for the mechanisms that might drive either PTSD or complex features in this group, and ongoing debate about the suitability of existing cognitive behavioural models and their related NICE‐recommended treatments. In a prospective study of young people in out‐of‐home care, we sought to identify demographic and cognitive processes that may contribute to the maintenance of both PTSD symptom and complex features.

A recent genome‐wide association study identified molecular‐genetic associations with age‐at‐first‐birth. However, the meaning of these genetic discoveries is unclear. Drawing on evidence linking early pregnancy with disinhibitory behavior, we tested the hypothesis that genetic discoveries for age‐at‐first‐birth predict disinhibition.
