"Corporate amnesia" or "institutional forgetting" – where organisations lose valuable knowledge, experience & insights over time (& reinvent approaches whilst not considering existing expertise &/or not making the time to learn from what happened previously). It is a significant contributor to productivity/performance shortfalls.
In my field of change & improvement, we have 40+ years of NHS improvement experience, yet when we start new programmes, how often do we reflect on what we know already? If we don't consider why we failed previously, we're more likely to fail this time too. We are not talking about intentional "unlearning" but about organisational memory loss &/or failure to capture learning.
In our pursuit of the new, we risk discarding the very knowledge we need to retain. Organisational memory isn’t just about preserving the past; it’s about arming ourselves with the insights needed to make smarter decisions, avoid repeating mistakes & foster innovation:

"What if the DSM diagnosed the cultural pathologies of capitalism & colonialism rather than the individuals afflicted by them? A forthcoming article in American Psychologist does just that -satirically turning psychiatry’s diagnostic bible against itself."

For me, relational deprivation & demoralisation are key drivers of rising youth distress - these are driven by wider structural factors that dismantle community, disrupt intimate connections & make embracing one's future a source of fear not hope. Tackle these, tackle the crisis.

Boundary setting plays an important role at work. Boundaries give us a sense of control/agency, clarify our responsibilities, preserve our energy & let us live our values & standards. It's not just about individual boundaries but how we understand & support each other's boundaries as a team. Often "boundaries" means time boundaries or home/life balance, but there are multiple other boundaries we should take account of as well. Great piece from @Haypsych:

Morgan-Rose Betchley was a young autistic mother & aspiring architect.

She died after ligaturing whilst an inpatient at a Sussex mental health hospital.

Now an inquest found that failings & unprofessional behaviour by staff contributed to her death.
