Last October, CareIf Trustee, Professor Afzal Javed, in collaboration with the University of Thessaloniki, co-organised a webinar examining the intersections between #ClimateChange and #MentalHealth.
During the webinar, Mr Alexander Smith - a researcher at the Department of Forensic Psychiatry in the University of Bern - introduced the burgeoning subdiscipline of #geopsychiatry.
This is not the first time that someone has called for improvements to #MentalHealth inpatient care. But the time has come to take the call seriously and the @CentreforMH's report provides a broad and solid base on which progress can be made.
🧵 Too often, inpatient mental health services are marked by coercion and restriction in environments that risk re-traumatising patients rather than helping them to recover.
We've been exploring what #CareBeyondBeds could look like 👇centreformentalhealth.org.uk…
What is Careif's vision?
Our vision is that sharing knowledge changes lives. We work in collaboration with global stakeholders in #MentalHealth, and on fostering strategic links, nationally and internationally, with like-minded organisations.

In a new blog post, Careif trustee Dr Jed Boardman takes a look at #gambling - an industry that has negative effects on physical and #MentalHealth as well as causing financial issues.

Jed notes that a Lancet Public Health Commission makes it clear that solutions should no longer be regarded as solely the responsibility of the individuals who engage in problematic gambling. The behaviour of corporate bodies needs to be regulated.

Jed also discusses the work of the Money and Mental Health Policy Institute (@mmhpi) who have launched Gambling Harms Action Lab - a 3-year programme working with financial institutions to develop and implement new tools to address gambling-related harm.
