There is a direct link between poverty and the care system. That's why we need to focus on early intervention and support families that need it the most. There's also many other factors to consider, and making care experience a protected characteristic will tackle a lot of these issues.

[Prof James Davies 💭 @JDaviesPhD]

The self care or self help movement flourishes on the myth that the heroic, atomised, isolated individual is able to transform themselves in the absence of solid social, material & relational supports. It also contends that should you fail you were obviously not committed enough.

@joannamoncrieff The College simply maintain the status quo - resist change and maintain vested interests across the board in a ‘medical’ model. Convenient to be in denial of the socio-political causation of distress and suppression of voices of resistance.

Royal College of Psychiatrists discusses the 'antidepressant wars' with only one side in the room (again). What's wrong with letting psychiatrists hear the other side and make up their own minds?

@DebJudge1 @mollyfentonx @liamdbergin Hi Molly, we’re so sorry to hear this, we send you our very best wishes. We also thank you for supporting us in helping find a cure to this devastating disease 💛

@braintumourrsch @mollyfentonx @liamdbergin 2/ but so randomly cruel that brain cancers may also progress so rapidly as in this case - so sad and I will connect more now to promote #braintumourresearch and help raise awareness.

@braintumourrsch @mollyfentonx @liamdbergin Hi Molly - I’m living with a heamangiopericytoma - first diagnosed in 2006 and resected, then recurred this year - I work in Pembrokeshire…I’m 58 - there is life with brain cancer - a rollercoaster but for living to the full! Be strong - I love #lyp

A Unicef comparison looks at public spending on child education and care for children aged 0-5. "The average for OECD countries is $6,000 per child per year. Norway & Sweden spend around $12,000, France close to $9,000.
In the UK, we spend $4,000"

The public have been misled by Pharma and sections of the medical profession into believing depression has an established biological cause. Our serotonin paper exposed this, but Jauhar & co want the situation to continue. @Mad_In_America @markhoro @HengartnerMP @PloederlM

We have responded here https://t.co/8TD7VLtkTK to the unfounded criticisms of our serotonin review made in this Mental Elf blog https://t.co/ApEizTH2fY

If you only read one bit of news this weekend, make it this one - on the front page of the BBC’s website. In my whole career I have never come across a personal story as extraordinary - and shocking - as that of former Barclays trader Peter Johnson: https://t.co/CuoXGdIcZr

@HodgS0 …as usual missing the point on #prevention As therapeutic programme lead for a private provider would happily see ‘need’ for placements reduce through prevention, early intervention (prenatal and preschool) and tackle child poverty. #inequality

Disturbing new stats from @EndChildPoverty on levels of UK child poverty⬇️

Poverty has a devastating impact on children’s health and wellbeing - and the effects are often lifelong. (1/2)

With all the news around net migration figures and over 170k asylum seekers waiting for a decision from the HO. Read our stories to understand the struggle being in limbo, criminalised and dehumanised for seeking protection in Britain 🇬🇧. #TheLightlessSky https://t.co/K6ZZ5eFAHl

[John Carnochan💜 @JohnCarnochan]

We seem always to be striving for “economic growth” we’re told it’s the answer to all of our problems. Here’s a thought - what if it isn’t the answer, what if it’s the cause of our problems?

[Gulwali Passarlay 🧡 @GulwaliP]

I would appreciate if you could encourage family and friends to read #TheLightlessSky so they can get a better understanding of the refugee struggles and story. So we can all humanise the debate and discussion on the subject of asylum, migration and protection. #WithRefugees

...the clincial gaze that sorts & labels those it falls upon into various categories of inadequacy & incompetence, the professional hubris that presumes to know how unhappy people should 'adjust' themselves to their fate, are surely in need of humility…
