Description

In this podcast, we are joined by Dr. Karen Mansfield, a postdoctoral research scientist from the School Mental Health Project, and Associate Professor Mina Fazel, Department of Psychiatry at the University of Oxford. The focus is on the JCPP Advances paper ‘‘Covid-19 partial school closures and mental health problems: a cross sectional survey of 11,000 adolescents to determine those most at risk’’.

Learning Objectives

1. What the School Mental Health project is and its aims.
2. Summary of the paper, its methodology, and its key findings.
3. Discussion that the risk groups identified would benefit from a broad curriculum of support for education and wellbeing, plus suggestions as to how this support might be delivered and in what form.
4. How findings from the paper tie in with other findings from the OxWell data, and what the implications of their findings are for professionals working with young people and their families.
