Mental health professionals aren't trained to deal with how young people act online Zoë Haime Discussion summary: ● Carefully curated resources already exist such as www.digitaldialogues.co.uk ● Young people have already been involved in research on this topic ● Which health outcome would show us this has been a success? We would hope to see a reduction in harmful online use. ● Could this be training be integrated into clinical training for doctors / clinicians? The issue is this would require a big evidence base to be added to the curriculum Next steps: ● It seems there is already a solution but clinical validation may be needed first ● Clinicians need to know why they should use this training - often people don't engage with this topic unless they know someone who has been affected by this. Stories are powerful.
● Medical professionals are already bombarded with training. ● Could they be motivated by achieving an accredited certificate? ● Convince stakeholders on the ROI
