📢 New Research Alert! COVID-19 has left a significant impact on young people’s mental wellbeing, with sensory-processing sensitivity (SPS) emerging as a key factor in understanding their response to trauma. A recent UK-based study involving 441 individuals aged 16-25 highlights: ✅ SPS is positively linked to COVID-19 trauma-related stress. ✅ Resilience plays a protective role, mediating the relationship between SPS and stress. ✅ Life satisfaction, surprisingly, showed no significant impact. The findings emphasize the importance of integrating resilience-building strategies into interventions targeting young people’s mental health. 🔗 Read the abstract here and access the full article to explore the detailed findings: https://lnkd.in/eBrnt2Ru Let’s continue to develop tools and frameworks to support young people post-pandemic. 💡

The escalation of misinformation about the ASI Wise Learning Routes has left us no choice but to take action to set the record straight. The misleading information has been circulating for some time, and following questions at The OT Show from therapists visiting our stand, it is clear and important that we clarify our offer. We can no longer remain silent. Therapists have requested access to reliable information to make informed decisions about their educational and career paths. Managers require accurate financial facts to make fair and equitable comparisons about different learning offers. Service Leads require clear information about learning routes and the knowledge and skills they deliver, including learning outcomes, to meet therapist and service delivery needs best. Making clear the tutor support, qualifications awarded, as well as tools and resources included in our learning offer, is now essential. Please see the attached link for our correction addressing the specific false claims about the ASI Wise learning offer currently available online by another provider. Please contact us with any questions or to explore your options for transferring to ASI Wise. We remain committed to honest, transparent communication. https://lnkd.in/eHh4Wp9p
