Effective #safeguarding and #parenting are about the relationship that holds. Being is made not given & emotional #wellbeing is rooted in relational well-being.
A campaign to denigrate scientists is in full swing. Child protection professionals know what this feels like, with a Care Review and a number of journalists using their platforms to create a hazardous environment around their work.
We see ourselves through the eye of others and loneliness can disrupt that. However, without that connection with others we can come to doubt our own existence. Hence, loneliness has significant impact on our #MentalHealth & well-being. @MHChat#mhchat
It definitely does all the things mentioned. Social media was my first ray of hope. It brought me out of the horrible darkness when people around me didn't even know I was mentally ill. The kind of understanding amd support people showed here has been overwhelming. #MHChat

@DrKashmirM@DrPeterBuzzi Thank you very much and great to be back online and reconnect with you and all the brilliant people on here and the wonderful community @MHChat#MHChat
Thank you so much for your concern & support. The past month has been a very difficult experience + lost access to @MHChat and my account @DrPeterBuzzi. Finally have just been given access to reset password. So, delighted to be back with you @MHChat#MHChat
@claudiamegele@doepublic@FieldingPolly@MHChat@MiddlesexUni Thank you so much Claudia & @doepublic for your kind words and generosity. I tend to take a more reserved approach to ensure @MHChat is a space for others' views & insightful contribution. So, thank you for your advocacy & support for #MentalHealth & people with lived experience.
@doepublic@FieldingPolly@MHChat@MiddlesexUni Sorry about the delayed reply, I am not regularly on twitter. And thank you for reaching out. @MHChat is an important resource. I no longer run the chats. @DrPeterBuzzi runs the chat now, and does it fabulously. I still like to join when I can.
@OpenMindMH@DrPeterBuzzi Thank you Rachel. For some reason Twitter disappeared from my phone and then I couldn't access @MHChat or my account on any device and attempts to reset password ended up with a message that someone will contact me for next step but no one did. Finally regained access today.
