New research from King’s College London, part funded by the (NIHR) Biomedical Research Centre at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust has found that seeing or hearing birds is associated with an improvement in mental wellbeing that can last up to eight hours.

Service Users and Carers, Community Leaders, Staff, Board members and the Executive Leadership Team have worked together to launch South London and Maudsley’s first anti-racism vision statement during Black History Month.  

The National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) has awarded £41 million to the NIHR Maudsley Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust and the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience at King’s College London. The NIHR funding is for five years from 1 December 2022 to 30 November 2027.

One in three (34%) parents say they think the rising cost of living could affect the mental health of their children a great deal, while seven in ten parents (72%) say it could affect it at least a little over the coming months, according to a new poll by Savanta ComRes and commissioned by the King’s Maudsley Partnership.

Appearance Anxiety, a book written by South London and Maudsley experts, has been added to a reading list to be available at all public libraries to mark World Mental Health Day.
