New paper out, providing robust evidence for the association between being a sensitive person and heightened risk for mental health problems. Check out the first meta-anylsis on this relevant topic: https://t.co/ZvdvnpfAax #HSP #Highlysensitive

New research from our School of Psychology and Queen Mary University of London found a link between high sensitivity and increased risk for mental health issues like anxiety and depression. https://t.co/G7JvyvfWaB @michaelpluess #MentalHealth #Research #HighSensitivity

Supporting mothers is a powerful way to protect refugee children. ✅ Counseling & parenting support ✅ Community programmes ✅ Policy to improve camp conditions 📖 Read more: https://t.co/PoSnmkftCu 📄 Original study:

But there’s a path forward: ✔️ Mothers with better mental health showed more supportive parenting ✔️ This → better child mental health ✔️ Community support + basic services helped improve maternal well-being

In refugee camps, daily stress + trauma are constant. We found: 🧠 Poor maternal mental health → more harsh parenting 💔 This → higher PTSD + depression in children 🏠 Poor living conditions → worse outcomes via impact on mothers

🧵 How does a refugee mother’s mental health shape her child’s future? Our new @ChildFamilyBlog piece (based on our paper in Child Development) explores this crucial question with data from over 1,400 Syrian refugee families. 🔗
