So sad to hear about the death of @BZephaniah this morning. An gentle activist who used his creativity to inspire and to change the world. RIP

Fab blog by our colleagues/collaborators at @UCLan @AsylumMagUK @ZinesMad who attended our Brixton exhibition and had lots to say about our artists' amazing work, Hope in the Heart, the Messages from the HeART project and more... Well worth a read! https://t.co/9TNgixA1jK

#psychiatry nearly ended my life, then a maverick psychiatrist who was above all a compassionate human being saved it. Opposite approaches illustrated (by me) in this short video https://t.co/iMCWB5XdVJ

How refreshing! Imagine if every institution provided positive alternatives like this.

Miracle alert!
My young nephews elementary school teacher last year was rigid & intolerant of high energy boys. Ton of ADHD referrals.
His teacher this year has standing desks, movement breaks & other developmentally appropriate teaching methods.

ADHD has been cured!

Unbinding ourselves from shame is one of the most important things we can do in our lives. It can also be one of the most difficult. To recognise when we are reacting from a place of shame is a good first step.
Thanks for this beautiful piece @Lacey_artist

[Hope in the Heart @HopeintheHearts]

The amazing @Pdisaninsult is over now, but you can see some artwork here (including pieces by HITH founder Tam @madwomantalking). It was a triumph that deeply impacted many people. Thanks to everyone who made it happen.
