On Monday 3rd June we launched our Power The Fight Therapeutic Intervention For Peace Impact Report. This film gives a summary of our work in schools, the impact of the project and our Theory of Change. This evaluation has found evidence that the project made significant impact on all four of its aims, to: 1. Increase wellbeing and improve mental health amongst young people. 2. Support system and cultural change in educational settings, increasing cultural sensitivity among staff and institutional practices. 3. Act as a conduit between external agencies, services and resources for schools and their communities. 4. Provide support and reflective spaces for parents/carers.

See image of page 15 of my free e-book where I argue we are all responsible for mental health outcomes. It isn’t only parents causing our mental health crisis. It is not just schools causing the mental health crisis. And the politicians aren’t solely responsible (allowing inequities). But, it certainly isn’t the kids. They are a product of the environments we co-create. All adults need to get serious about learning the psychological science. And, Psychologists need to be in the community. We need to be honest about ineffective techniques and get real about the benefits of stress-related growth. We need to say so when our interventions are experimental (especially when attached to major research institutions). Invest in educating adults to foster environments that build wellness!

Why is it important to safeguard the mental health of children and youth in the digital age? I write for World Economic Forum's agenda bringing to light this glaring issue. As nearly 60% of the world's population is now online, it's crucial to raise awareness about the potential online risks affecting young minds. While acknowledging the opportunities the internet provides for children and youth, it is equally essential to remain vigilant and proactive in addressing the associated mental health risks that come with this digital immersion. Let's prioritize mental health education, implement targeted interventions, and promote a shared understanding of online threats to mental well-being. Together, we can create a safer digital environment for our children and support their mental health.

For any outdoor therapist out there, this resource is an essential staple to define competences and the boundaries of the work we do outdoors. For clients, this tool defines safety when working outdoors. Some of the questions that may come up from this are: - What are the therapist's competences to work outdoor? - It this offer therapy or therapeutic? - (depending on the activity) Is the person competent to work outdoors? This is why, the wilderness therapy programme in the Cairngorms I lead as a therapeutic leader also employs a mountain leader. "Competences" is the key word here. And I'm so grateful for this resource for defining competences. 🙏
