Let’s put this to practice. Today, reach out to a close one and check in with them. Let’s build the skills to better connect people and, hopefully, reduce these feelings of being alone.

As ReSET focuses on adolescent mental health, we resonate with YoungMinds’ endeavours to advocate for young people to not tackle these difficulties alone. Although waiting to receive mental health support can be challenging, one thing we can all do is offer each other some support – big or small.

Most people will struggle with their mental health at some point in their life, and with the increasing pressures of current times, it's normal to react with feelings of overwhelm and hopelessness.

We had the chance to interactively join professionals from other disciplinary backgrounds and provide insights into prioritisation of what should be measured during the first wave of GNE's data collection - when infants are 6-9 months old.

This project, led by UCL’s Centre for Longitudinal Studies, will be the first nationwide birth cohort study in 25 years – tracking 30,000 2026-born babies. This study will be incredibly informative, with cohort studies previously contributing to major breakthroughs in policy and services.

Before his time as an academic researcher, Tom worked in a call centre, attempting the impossible task of keeping customers on the phone for 1-hour surveys. In his spare time, Tom likes to play basketball and is known to occasionally eat 2 pounds of meat as a meal. #FuelTheBrain 💪🥩

ReSET Project @resetproject.bsky.social · 5d

Tom tackles this through his extensive experience with analysing data and writing research reports, coding, and organising large data – with ReSET developing a rather niche skill in deciphering cryptic handwriting of the young people.

Here's a helpful infographic to learn a little more about what we do and what we're trying to achieve 🌟

ReSET Project @resetproject.bsky.social · 22d

Conversations about mental health can feel uncomfortable but reaching out, even if you’re unsure of what to say, is almost always better than saying nothing.

We can all improve how we start and hold safe, supportive conversations, see:
