Norwich domestic abuse programme shortlisted A local domestic abuse project of the UK charity Spurgeons, Norwich Connect, was recently shortlisted for an Early Intervention Award. Much of the domestic abuse work in the UK supports the survivor at the point when they leave the relationship. But survivors of abuse are saying they want earlier intervention, as well as more support for their children and help to recover and move on with their lives. Norwich Connect seeks to address these gaps in Norwich. It also works with perpetrators to help them change their abusive behaviour – at least in cases where families are still together, the victim wants to stay in the relationship and where it is safe to do so. The project ensures that children have a voice in helping the family move forward and has developed a peer support network for survivors.

Young people at ultra-high risk of developing psychosis have significantly higher psychotic symptoms if they are an evening person, researchers at Orygen, Australia s centre of excellence in youth mental health, have found.
Their research, published last month in the journal
Early Intervention in Psychiatry, investigated the link between sleep disturbance, chronotype - whether the young person was a morning or evening person - and psychotic symptoms.
Orygen s Dr Jessica Hartmann, who led the study, said the research involved clinical interviews and self-report assessments of 81 young people aged 12 to 25 years at ultra-high risk of psychosis.
The results showed that young people who were at ultra-high risk of developing psychosis and who were night owls , had higher negative psychotic symptoms.
