    How CAT-MH® helped one practice save lives

    In the world of behavioural health, every moment counts. When someone reaches out for help, there’s often a narrow window of opportunity—one that can close quickly if the right support isn’t available immediately. For Bernie Dyme, a licensed clinical social worker with over four decades of experience, finding ways to maximise that critical window became essential as his practice grew.

    CAT-MH research reveals the hidden mental health crisis behind community violence. Dr. Michael Brook's groundbreaking study shows hope

    What if the young people involved in community violence were simply individuals struggling with untreated mental health conditions?

    This question lies at the heart of groundbreaking research that’s changing how we understand and address violence in our communities.

    Dr Michael Brook, Associate Professor at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine, has spent years studying this connection. His work reveals something most people don’t realise: the majority of young people who become involved in community violence have significant histories of trauma, depression, hopelessness, and other mental health conditions that directly increase their risk.

    The Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency™ (BOT™) was the first standardized test I came across on my first fieldwork placement as an occupational therapy student. Back then, it came in a clunky metal case and used real pennies for the coin activities (I'm showing my age now!) Like many therapists, I feel like I've "grown up with” the BOT so I'm thrilled to be part of the team bringing the original BOT's “grandchild” — the BOT™-3 — into the world! We are all excited about this new edition, and we think you will be too!

    The shift to digital 

    I wonder how often we stop to look at our work or home environment and reflect on when technology became the ‘norm’. If you are like me, the answer to this question may not be very often at all! However, as I write this, I am surrounded by a wireless mouse (launched 1991), a mobile phone (first launched in 1984), and a laptop (launched in 1981) just for starters.
