This course delves into the complex dynamics of death, dying, and bereavement within an ageing population, with a focus on understanding their psychosocial and cultural impacts, particularly from an Asian viewpoint. It explores how mortality shapes individuals, families, and societies, drawing from developmental, social, and community psychology. Moreover, it aims to equip individuals with practical skills to aid those encountering challenges related to death while stressing the significance of cultivating reflective practices to deepen personal understanding, nurture compassion, and foster a greater appreciation for life and personhood.

🌟 #CAYPPsychology & #BBCTinyHappyPeople on Rewards: Do they work and what are the best ways to reward my child? 🌟 We were thrilled to be featured again on BBC Tiny Happy People, where one of our #clinicalpsychologists, Barbara Di Benedetto shared an in-depth guide on how parents and caregivers can use rewards to nurture positive behaviours and help children overcome challenges. Here’s a quick look at her top tips: 1. Be Clear and Specific 🎯 – Give simple, focused instructions and link rewards to specific behaviours, like tidying up toys or going to bed calmly. 2. Stay Consistent 🔄 – Ensure everyone involved in your child’s care is aligned, creating a predictable and supportive reward system. 3. Combine Rewards with Praise 👏 – Pair rewards with warm verbal praise or high-fives to reinforce positivity. 4. Time Rewards Right ⏰ – Provide rewards promptly after the desired behaviour, especially for younger children who benefit from immediate reinforcement. 5. Use Immediate and Long-Term Rewards ⭐ – For quick wins, celebrate small acts, and for longer-term goals, use visual charts or jars to keep children motivated. 6. Keep It Positive 😊– Focus on what children should do rather than what they shouldn’t, and always be warm and encouraging, regardless of progress. 7. Review Regularly 📈 – Track progress and adapt if a reward isn’t effective, understanding that sometimes different approaches are needed Thank you, BBC Tiny Happy People, for another wonderful opportunity to share practical, research-based guidance to support young people and their families! 🎉 📖 Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/g5qhXH8D #CAYPPsychology #TinyHappyPeople #ChildDevelopment #PositiveParenting #MentalHealth #BBC #Behaviour #ChildPsychology

I agree with this study! Old age is definitely starting later - at least that is my perspective as I have aged. 😁😁 And the work of The John A. Hartford Foundation and Trust for America's Health have reinforced that older adults can live longer, fuller lives if the conditions are favorable and age-friendly. ICF is also working to support those age-friendly conditions from our work to combat elder financial abuse to our work on housing and transportation to our many effort to promote age-friendly health and human services.

Happy Monday! 😊 I am currently carrying out a dissertation in part fulfilment of the MA in Applied Psychology at University College Cork. My supervisors, Dr. Jason Chan and Dr Sharon Lambert, and I kindly request your support by participating in a 20-minute survey that aims to delve into the attitudes and perceptions of mental health professionals and general practitioners in Ireland regarding Trauma-Informed Care and its implementation in human services. Link to the survey = https://lnkd.in/esPzU5Ww   About the Study: You do not need to have expertise in the topic of trauma-informed care, as we aim to capture a wide range of insight. Trauma-Informed Care is a set of principles and practices that acknowledges the existence of trauma histories in a substantial number of people who access human services and adapts its processes and interactions with clients accordingly. If you chose to participate, you will be asked to complete a questionnaire covering: 1.     Demographic information 2.     Attitudes Towards Trauma-Informed Care 3.     Adverse Childhood Experiences 4.     Professional Quality of Life 5.     2 open-ended reflections on the practice of Trauma-Informed Care   Why Participate? - Your clinical experience and expertise are invaluable. Help us identify areas for improvement, best practice, and opportunities for growth. - Receive early access to research results (if you choose). - Help a dedicated psychology student on her dissertation journey!   I would personally be very grateful for your support in fulfilling my educational goals to complete my dissertation to a high standard. If you are in a position to participate, please follow the following link to the information sheet, consent form and the survey: https://lnkd.in/esPzU5Ww If you can share this with colleagues, or GPs and mental health professionals known to you, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

What’s the best way to talk to children about traumatic news events? We recently sat down with Professor of Clinical Psychology, Jennie Hudson, to discuss the common challenges parents face when navigating conversations about traumatic events with children. "Our goal is to help kids process the information about the event in a balanced way, and not be overly sensitive to danger in the future," says Professor Hudson. Take a look at some of Professor Hudson's helpful recommendations below 👇 Read more information + the full article here 👉 https://bit.ly/3WMBrur
