Dear all,
We have produced a short film with information about cannabis and the risk of psychosis in adolescents in collaboration with a fantastic group of year 10 students. Now it's time for dissemination so please feel free to share.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPHa3fKaXWg
We hope it will be a good platform for secondary schools to talk about the subject, or youth community groups, young mental health groups...
Some more information about the video:
Duration: 13 min
Contents:
- 14 students work with scientists from the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience (IoPPN) to understand the link between the use of cannabis and the development of psychosis.
- After an introduction to the project, training on filming and interviewing techniques, and a creative session with two contemporary artists, the students bring you essential information from King’s key researchers and educators mixing art and science.
- Mainly (but not only) targeted at a young audience, covering subjects as how cannabis works in the brain, how genetics/environments feed into risks, the role of neuroimaging in understanding brain function and our current knowledge about the link between cannabis and psychosis.
Who: Funded by King's Widening Participation Team, organised by Dr Kyle Dyer and myself. In collaboration with King's researchers, two contemporary artists and Swanlea School in Tower Hamlets (London).
Thank you all!
Teresa Rodriguez
