In those tough times when we have reached out for help from 'services'. I wonder how often people have left feeling like they've had a 1) conversation and been listened to OR 2) been through an interrogation and been judged. 1 way works, 1 way doesn't. It's not complicated
"This course has been astounding. I cannot unlearn what we have discussed and why would I want to.” Applications are now open for the next round of the #PTSQualification with @covcampus - we'd love to see you there! #PTS#SystemsChange#NewSystemAlly https://t.co/LjSTv1GyGm
What does a corridor of distorted mirrors in an old school 'Funhouse' have to do with asking for help through a tough time? A lot apparently! A great way to kick off the new year @RichardBoylan1#PTS#NewSystemAlly https://t.co/bBUPTNsynP
Adding the music to the Wisdoms is such a wonderful idea; brings these powerful words to life & even though they were spoken 10 yrs ago, they remain a catalyst for much needed system change today as they did back then!
10 years ago we stopped and listened. What we heard was captured through Wisdom from the Street - thank you to David Breakspear for putting this together and sharing it with us. Music Art of silence by Uniq. https://t.co/bbTTUnK77t
The voices at the heart of @NewSystemAlly. 10 Wisdoms, one very clear message - we don't just need people to use #SystemsChange, we need people to be the change. #NewSystemAlly
System Damage is putting policies and procedures first before the person and leaving them traumatised from the systems policy.

On 9 August 1970, 150 protestors marched against police harassment in Notting Hill. This is the story of the Mangrove 9, a group of Black activists who were arrested for leading the protest and who changed British history by taking a stand against racial discrimination. #SmallAxe
Imagine if you had to move house tomorrow, to an unknown area, away from your friends, family and everything you know.. Having a choice is a human right #systemschange#NewSystemAlly@NewSystemAlly
'Make the familiar strange'...came across this today and thought it summed up #systemchange perfectly. Only by stepping away and truely looking at it will we understand the damage of doing the same thing over and over again just because it is comfortable @MaydayTrust
When we stop listening, we stop learning. When we stop being heard we often stop talking.. maybe it's time to start shouting?! #NewSystemAlly@NewSystemAlly#SystemsChange
Spending a couple of hours feeding squirrels and sitting under a favourite tree, the fresh crisp air & being shown where someone loves, is a great alternative to being in the system that they're faced with daily. #systemschange#PTS#justbeing
The Wisdom from the System conversations underlined why there needs to be a paradigm shift, rather than wasting energy on trying to fix a system that isn’t fit for purpose. Full Wisdoms being shared soon #NewSystemAlly#systemwisdom
