When in lockdown we can be sensitive to stress! The sympathetic nervous system in over drive. Be kind and patient!

[Adelaide Mental Health & Suicide Prevention @MHResearchUniSA]

In lockdown, be patient with people at home who might say or do things that seem out of character. There's a lot of angst, uncertainty, fear and anxiety around. Try to prevent/de-escalate situations that seem unusual, getting out of hand, potentially regretful, when you can.

Australia based BPD-Co pres. Delighted to see an international focus on stepped care approaches. Still think whilst in the UK there’s lots of talk about this, we have some catching up to do... @projectairstrat and others provide some great comprehensive YP friendly models #ITPD
