New video presentation from Prof Bryn Lloyd-Evans, Professor of Mental Health and Social Inclusion at UCL Psychiatry.<\/p>\n

“We must not assume that anything new is good. We must do the research to know that interventions are doing more good than harm.”<\/em><\/p>\n

On 3rd Oct 2024 we hosted our first MHSC Incubator webinar, which featured a fantastic talk from Bryn Lloyd-Evans from University College London, a former social worker and now full-time researcher, who presented a comprehensive overview of the evidence for various models of care and support aimed at meeting people’s social needs in the context of mental health.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0Bryn spoke about\u00a0“the stuff of life”<\/em>:\u00a0families, relationships, money, housing, work, crime, justice, social isolation, civic participation etc.\u00a0Despite the recognised importance of social care interventions, there is a notable gap in robust evidence supporting their effectiveness.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0“We need to rethink how we’re studying social interventions in mental health\u201d<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0It’s not all about RCTs, but randomised controlled trials and systematic reviews with meta-analyses are possible. Bryn reviewed findings from systematic reviews and elsewhere, highlighting models like IPS employment support and Housing First as having strong evidence bases.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0His talk concluded with a discussion on the challenges and potential of evidence-based social care, raising critical questions about the future directions for research and implementation in this vital field.<\/p>\n

\u00a0“Evidence-based social care is possible”<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Why not grab a cuppa now, and watch Bryn’s 14-min talk in full.<\/p>\n
