@shearer_robyn Agree a time like no time before for addressing mental health and addiction challenges positively

From our youth team at #IIHML:
"I do this work to make sure that no child feels the pain I felt. And when I reflect on that, it's clear to me that if the people I am doing this work for are youth, then it is them I must do this work with. There is no other way." #YouthMH

#Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 sought to reduce alcohol-related harm & consumption by requiring minimum pricing; looks like that has had positive results. On a weighted score of harm to individuals & society, alcohol ranks far above many drugs deemed illegal. https://t.co/z4g5EsAsCW

The youth panel at IIMHL talking about the future they want for mental wellbeing @Werry_Workforce @minhealthnz @IIMHL @TePouNZ proud of the young New Zealanders representing - we need more youth in decisions on our future

Just been part of international network @IIMHL spreading the Equally Well learnings.

[Dr Helen Lockett @lockett_helen]

Absolutely, another reason why support to get and sustain employment and education needs to be core to mental health and addiction services, not a nice to have add on. We have the evidence of what to do now let’s make it happen! @WorkCounts #ips @CentreforMH @shearer_robyn

Manisha Morar and Taisha Abbott speaking at the youth forum at IIMHL/IIDL forum in Washington. Young passionate New Zealand leaders who are drawing on their lived experiences with a plea to do more WITH rather than TO weave a kete together for tino rangatiratanga. Iimhl#

[barbara disley @DisleyBarbara]

New Zealand contingent at Iimhl global leaders meeting sharing our innovations and learning about what more we could be doing. Social determinants, trauma inclusive, responding earlier, culturally responsive, supporting parents and babies. Lots more to do!!

[barbara disley @DisleyBarbara]

Launch of the cross parliamentary forum on mental health. Sir J K had the parliamentarians dancing singing and hugging, and Whaia Moe Milne reminded us of the importance of connection, whanau and reflection.

[United Nations Geneva @UNGeneva]

One day I will be... a teacher.

The realities of #women and #girls trapped in crisis rarely make headlines. @vtremeau asked #girls what they want to be when they grow up. We stand with them as they #inspire, #innovate and take charge of their own #future.

Great to have such a warm reception to The NZ Mental Health Inquiry findings on this side of the Tasman.

[Australian & New Zealand Mental Health Association @anzmha]

Dr Barbara Disley, group chief executive of Emerge Aotearoa is presenting about radical transformation of our approach to mental health services, both necessary and urgent. #imhc #Mentalhealth

[barbara disley @DisleyBarbara]

Wonderful to have the Hon Dr David Clark launch EaseUp our youth AoD service with the support of Ngati Whatua Orakei today in Tamaki.

[barbara disley @DisleyBarbara]

Emerge Aotearoa were joined in waiata today by @GovGeneralNZ at the Chch memorial site. #weareone

[barbara disley @DisleyBarbara]

Heartfelt thanks to our Prime Minister for her unwavering leadership and to the many police, health workers and community agencies who have gone above and beyond. The many acts of kindness and aroha will bind us all. Standing united as a community. We are all one.

[barbara disley @DisleyBarbara]

@nic_coom Collaboration and building our collective influence as community is critical as we go forward. Helping people see and understand the evidence on some of the hard issues we need to tackle like harm minimisation approaches to drugs and alcohol require collective strength

[barbara disley @DisleyBarbara]

@PeterGluckman @HelenClarkNZ Couldn’t agree more as it is only by more open discussion on the hard issues like harm minimisation approaches to alcohol and drug use that have evidence at their base that we will move forward.

[barbara disley @DisleyBarbara]

@KatieRoseBruce Reinforces the view that communities do have the answers and community agencies and MPs have the power to change things through listening engaging and supporting and working with not doing to

[Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand @mentalhealthnz]

This is great news!
