📝 New article published: Understanding the Mediating Effect of Child Abuse and Poor Mental Health on the Use of Adolescent Family Violence. 🔗 We examine the role of childhood victimisation, disability and poor mental health in young people’s use of violence in the home in Australia. All too often young people’s use of violence in the home is linked to other presenting issues, such as mental health concerns, disability or harmful substance use while other underlying and contributing factors to these intersecting issues remain overlooked and unaddressed. 📌 This article lends provides further evidence that young people's use of family violence is deeply intertwined with their own experiences of family violence victimisation during childhood. Our findings build on existing calls to better recognise and respond to children and young people impacted by family violence first and foremost as victim–survivors in their own right. 👉 Our article is published open access in the British Journal of Sociology. You can read it here: https://lnkd.in/gQTK9rsq 🧡 Thanks to Brittany Ralph for leading this article and to co-authors Steve Roberts, William Lukamto and Silke Meyer. This article draws on data from our ANROWS funded study 'Adolescent Family Violence in Australia'.

Some tinkering around the edges of Medicare funding for mental health. Years after the Better Access evaluation made a raft of recommendations on how to improve mental health care, the government is making some tepid changes to the way Mental Health Care Plans work. It seems to me that these changes are mostly designed to prevent GPs from doing one-off MHCPs for patients they’ve never seen before and are unlikely to see again—think telehealth GP services promoting Mental Health Care Plans. Additionally, the removal of the Mental Health Care Plan review GP items will reduce some of the confusion around how reviews are supposed to work. Clients will still need to see their GP after six sessions, but no specific item number will be available for GPs. It’s been the case for years that a “review” item wasn’t required—it was always optional. Now a normal GP item is the only option. Overall, these are modest changes. The actual Better Access Evaluation recommended bigger changes, like removing the GP visit after 6 sessions all together, and increasing the limit of 10 per year for psychologists. Most of the recommendations are being ignored by this government. 😥 https://lnkd.in/gSUmmFYh

An early intervention program developed at UNE is helping children with autism and their parents to grow their skills and confidence. Advancing our understanding of autism is important for not just those individuals and their families, but also for society at large, according to UNE neuroscientist and researcher, Professor Vicki Bitsika. “Autistic people have a unique way of thinking and, when it comes to complex global problems, they are likely the ones who will save the world,” says Prof Bitsika, who has specialised in autism in clinical practice for 35 years and leads a UNE Brain Behaviour Research Group study of autism. “It’s important to recognise the unique abilities and talents of autistic people so we can better support them. In turn, they can then contribute to the wellbeing of those around them." More on this program: https://lnkd.in/gUDMzjyG #ProudToBeUNE #ResearchUNE
