Re: {Virus?} RE: resilience

[Guest guest]

Dear Chrisso,

You are right that academics seldom stand together on this vital mental

health issue. Perhaps we could get together for a start, with my hero

the Dean of Warwick, to address just one small part of the

resilience picture: safeguarding small children from abuse? The evidence

that early and especially prolonged abuse increases the risk of later

mental illness is overwhelming (although the Royal Holloway team found you

could not predict WHICH illness in each child, only that the incidence of

ALL common clinical disorders was increased). The ish parliament has

its unique, national mental wellbeing programme- perhaps we should start

with the MSPs and then servants like their CNO would wake up and pay

attention!

Yours,

Woody.
