You can be driven, motivated, passionate and have depression. You can be bubbly, vibrant and extroverted and have anxiety. The more we understand that mental health is separate from character, the less stigma there will be.

For those who don’t know, the @AOTInews have published the following: LGBT+ Awareness and Good Practice Guidelines for Occupational Therapists ⬇️⬇️⬇️

If you're feeling a little anxious right now, try going through your senses:

Name...

1 thing you can taste
2 things you can smell
3 things you can hear
4 things you can touch
5 things you can see

Going through your senses can help ground you in this moment.

We celebrated #PrideMonth2023 on our #mentalhealth ward this week with a pride party & it was wonderful 🏳️‍🌈😍 one of the patients described feeling a "natural high" that they usually only get from drugs & alcohol @LGBTQIAOTUK @LGBTHM

Rainbow fruit and skittle platter, rainbow cupcakes, singing and dancing to 90s songs, including la Macarena! 💃🏻 Even one of our med students joined in!
Looks like I missed a very good #Pride party yesterday!! 🏳️‍🌈

For the first time ever, we're declaring a national state of emergency as LGBTQ+ Americans face extremist attempts to roll back our rights. It's more important than ever we have the necessary resources to stay safe no matter where we are. https://t.co/EcnZgqDDCp

Focusing on getting outside more this month for #30DaysWild

This nature hunt was a fun way of getting us to look closer at all the beautiful colours around us ☘️🌸 🌼

We did cheat and use a bottle cap for the colour blue though 😆

It's more important than ever that LGBT+ young people can see positive representation so that they grow up knowing that being LGBT+ is nothing to be ashamed of🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Our new, independently conducted research reveals that LGBT+ young adults feel that pansexual, intersex and trans people have the worst of all LGBT+ representation in the media. 🧵(1/7)
