I'm on tonight's @utv Up Close, speaking about the harm that can be caused by social media, including online abuse.
The mental health implications of trolling can be huge; perpetrators do it to get a reaction, & often enjoy knowing that they have caused harm.
The programme includes interviews with @DianeDoddsMLA, Health Minister @RobinSwannMoH, @CaraHunterMLA, Anita Dennison, victim of online abuse but now an anti-bullying campaigner, and mum of 16-year-old Elle Trowbridge from Omagh who died by suicide in 2017.https://t.co/8LGsMIMl1f

As it's #SaferInternetDay , I want you all to do your best to remember this! #ThinkPositive#PostPositive@safeinternetday
Negative comments online or in person do not define you as an individual. Be proud of yourself everyday, on & offline. Respect yourself and your peers💪
It's #TimeToTalk Day & we would love to hear how you will be supporting the nation's largest mental health conversation
It could be an event, chat at work, with a friend or relative, or on social media

Not pretending to know anything about #DesmondTutu But he did say something that stuck with me.
“There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream and find out why they are falling in.”
A wise approach to #mentalhealth?

#Christmas isn’t an easy time for many people. The pressures of “having to be happy” over the festive period can be difficult for many with mental health issues. If you need your own space over the Christmas period, feel free to take time out. You deserve it #MentalHealth
