In this Papers Podcast, Dr. Fiona Challacombe discusses her co-authored CAMH journal paper ‘Preventing anxiety in the children of anxious parents – feasibility of a brief, online, group intervention for parents of one- to three-year-olds’ (https://doi.org/10.1111/camh.12596).

There is an overview of the paper, methodology, key findings, and implications for practice.

Discussion points include:

- What is known about anxiety, how it aggregates in families, and how it is transmitted between generations.
- Why it is important to tackle childhood anxiety and the typical trajectory for children who are anxious and do not receive help.
- Insight into the adapted online group intervention on parenting skills for anxious parents.
- Implications of the paper’s findings for child and adolescent mental health professionals and policymakers.
- Tips for anxious parents.

In this series, we speak to authors of papers published in one of ACAMH’s three journals. These are The Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry (JCPP); The Child and Adolescent Mental Health (CAMH) journal; and JCPP Advances.

An important part of growing up is taking risks... but are our youngest generation still taking enough risks, or the right kind of risks? Are they in fact 'Generation Sensible', or is this a misunderstanding? How can we support them to take good risks whilst supporting their mental health? We cover all this and more in a fascinating discussion about teen risk taking. 

Learning Objectives
1. To understand why teens take risks 
2. To understand why this generation may be different 
3. To discover some practical ways to support healthy risk taking

Learning Objectives
1. Insight into what is meant by Patient Public Involvement (PPI), co-production and co-design and the difference between these terms.
2. Why it is important to include young people with lived experiences in mental health research and how to convince researchers that people with lived experiences have a meaningful contribution to make to the research process.
3. What counts as lived experience and whether it is necessary to have a formal diagnosis to be regarded as having lived experience.
4. Insight into the ‘ladder of participation’ and other frameworks for participation.
5. How researchers can ensure that their engagement with people with lived experience is meaningful and not tokenistic and recommendations for researchers who want to engage with young people with lived experiences in their research.
