This #PrideMonth, it's important to remember that LGBTQ people are at higher risk of mental health problems than the general population and often experience stigma as a result. Their stories: https://t.co/orsFmbdKPu

Happy 70th birthday NHS, thank you for all you have done and do. You've helped me when my thumb was cut off, my mystery knee injury, and funded me and my Nursing course. Without you, I never would almost be a qualified MH Staff Nurse
Thank you, and can't wait to join you

Currently watching #TakeYourPills on @NetflixUK, really interesting hearing the perspectives of using substances like #amphetamemes for things like anything from cognitive enhancement to treating #ADHD. Would recommend #MHStiryear3

It's #InternationalWomensDay and I'd like to shout out to a group of women I look up to that have been denied their rights across the world, Trans women have been at the centre fighting for #FemaleRights and #LGBTQRights and faced repression and ridicule. We will fight and win

Bright, colourful, loud and lively @LGBTIScotland celebration at the @ScotParl 21 years of progress. Pleasure to speak up and congratulate them at the celebration.

Trauma Informed - 2 simple words, easy to say but multiple layers, complex to achieve and measure. More than going on a course, A process not a project. A way of doing, but importantly a way of BEING.
