Our manifesto for the 2026 Scottish Parliament election launches today.
It outlines three key areas with evidence-based recommendations that should form part of the new Scottish govt's agenda across education health & justice.

Nearly 2 years later, we've just remade our website! midpsy.uk
'If psychology is seriously to address the despair and anguish that increasingly afflict us all, it needs to develop 'outsight'... to stop looking inside the head of each troubled individual that seeks its help, and turn its gaze outwards'

As I've said here before, we do not prevent suicide by "assessing for safety." That's a lawyer's worldview, or an administrator's
We prevent suicide by creating a meaningful human connection where patients feel seen, heard, and understood in a relationship where they matter

A sobering fact to start Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week but a critical one that needs highlighting to show how vital the need is for intervention and support at such a crucial stage of life.

I’ve been looking in more detail at the 2023 suicide figures from ONS, published this week.
They showed a 6% rise, giving us the highest national rate since 1999.
In fact, the detailed picture - by age, sex & where people live - is not simple.
Short 🧵 & TW
5,579 suicides were registered in England in 2023, equivalent to a provisional rate of 11.1 suicide deaths per 100,000 people.
This rate was statistically significantly higher than in 2022 and is the highest rate we have seen since 1999.

Despite men accounting for 75% of all suicide deaths in UK, there is relatively little research focused on male suicide.
In this paper, led by @susie_research we try to right this wrong by setting out research priorities for male suicide risk & recovery
