📚 ReSET publications 📰 If you want to learn more about the ReSET project, just head over to our website https://t.co/2fEJF314m0 🧠 📌 We’ve now added a ‘Publications’ section to make it easier to access all the papers, blog posts, podcasts etc. that our team are producing!✨

If you wanted to know more about how our young people responded to ReSET, the strategies used, and how these strategies can be implemented in a school setting, read our blog exploring feedback from our young people:

These strategies are accessible, evidence-backed, and easy to implement - the best part – young people respond well to them! Our newest "Coffee ReSET" episode explores five of these strategies. If you want to join the conversation, watch the episode here:

ReSET combines elements of interpersonal therapy with app-based cognitive-emotional training 🧠 📱. Through group sessions, young people used “Me” and “We” strategies to consider different ways to resolve interpersonal issues and perceive others’ emotions more positively.

Laura is ReSET's resident athlete - having completed three marathons, including the London Marathon 2025, and taking part in fitness competitions to unwind. Whether it’s Hyrox, Turf Games, or anything heavy lifting - as long as the heart rate's rising, Laura's always game!🏋🏼💪🏻🏃🏼

Laura's has enjoyed building connections with students, school staff and colleagues across various fields. Working in research, especially school-based research, means no two days are ever the same - so Laura has learned to always expect the unexpected!

🔆Team Spotlight🔆 Laura needs no inroduction! As ReSET's project manager she has lead all aspects of project delivery from the very beginning, including intervention development, recruitment of schools and students, data collection and dissemination activities.

🧡 The theme of this year's #ADHDawarenessmonth is 'The Many Faces of ADHD'. In this second episode of #CoffeeReSET, we discuss the long NHS wait lists, how ADHD affects boys vs girls, and how school's are adapting to the increasing demand. ⤵️ https://t.co/qmJfSsu4sY

In her spare time, Libby can often be found enjoying cosy days at home, playing video games with friends or keeping up with her favourite NFL team now the American Football season is back!☕🎮🏈

Libby works on our Social Network analysis, mapping connections between young people at schools and how this changes over time. This comes with the "super fun" task of deciphering handwritings! She also works on a Framework Analysis of the young people’s feedback of the sessions.

💡Team Spotlight💡 Libby has been with ReSET since June 2023, being involved with school screening, data collection & cleaning, and facilitating the ReSET sessions in schools throughout the ‘main trial’ phase.

📣 We’re inviting secondary schools to join the IMAGINE Study, an exciting UCL project on young people’s body image, wellbeing, and mental health. Help shape the future of adolescent mental health. 💭 Express Interest: https://t.co/J4i1EZXuP6 Website:

3. Distract Yourself🤔 Distraction helps divert negative thoughts. Take yourself out for a walk, engage creatively, or call a loved one. While doing this, ground yourself by focusing on what you can see, hear, smell, taste or feel. Offering yourself kindness is very important.

2. Talk About It 💬 Feelings of loneliness negatively impacts mental health. When struggling, it can be hard to reach out. Keeping things to yourself is burdensome, so sharing your thoughts with someone you trust can help you feel more connected and increase wellbeing!

1. Pizza Breathing🍕 When stressed, our breathing changes, causing distress. Breathing exercises help calm us. Visualise a pizza slice; as you inhale, imagine smelling it—cheesy, savoury, warm. Hold your breath for 3 seconds and exhale. Repeat until relaxed. Easy as pizza pie!

OCD Self-Care / Coping Strategies Mind ( https://t.co/GqCz91GXIg) have some brilliant, and scientifically informed, self-care coping strategies for OCD. We particularly liked these three strategies, as they are also helpful for managing general wellbeing (very on-topic for us!).

Keep an eye out for our other OCD-related posts across the week: LinkedIN: https://t.co/ts7nOE6OP1 Bluesky: https://t.co/T9d13wL2BK TikTok:

🔗Link to resources🔗 The International OCD Foundation ( https://t.co/q6RpoTP6mD) and OCD UK ( https://t.co/9KK1FF1lIE) websites have some great resources for those living with OCD or living alongside someone with OCD.

❗Why raising awareness is important❗ OCD is misunderstood, with it being casually used to refer to being neat or organised. In reality, OCD is challenging and complex. Minimising OCD to being "quirky" causes further stigma, leading to less help-seeking and received support.

This week is OCD Awareness Week. 📊Some stats📊 OCD affects 1 in 50 people in the UK, with various factors contributing to it's onset and it presenting differently for each person affected by it.

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.
