Today we celebrate Ruth: the amazing mum, wife, daughter, sister, friend and for us at RSF, the inspiration and driving force behind our cause.

Today we will take a moment to stand still, wrap our arms around those we love (physically or virtually)…

@RuthStraussFdn #RedforRuth Wonderful to see so much support for this wonderful, CRITICAL charity ❤️helping families find their way through #grief & losing a parent. But they need more funds; 112 children a day lose a parent to terminal illness. Pls donate https://t.co/I6Q9BCdRGB

[Josie Jacobs, MAPP @JosieHJacobs]

#RedforRuth Wear red today❤️& donate to this incredible charity. We all know someone who has died of a terminal illness 😢but if you are a parent & that was your family, how would you cope? The RSF is there for families every step of the (difficult)way. https://t.co/I6Q9BCdRGB

"The hardest thing I've ever had to do is sit my boys down & tell them their Mum isn't going to be around for very long."

The Ruth Strauss Foundation is here to support families as they prepare for grief, death and dying.

Yes, why are we not still talking about this! “There is a dearth of empathy and respect for disabled and marginalised people" #disabledlivesmatter

Wow, our temperament (with potential to affect our long term #mentalhealth), is developed within the first months of a baby’s life. Can’t wait to learn more about the implications of this & the role #parents could play to positively impact this development.

[Scott Barry Kaufman ⛵ @sbkaufman]

Research shows for the first time that functional brain networks that impact our temperament develop within the first month of a person’s life. Deep implications here for the development of neurological disorders and mental illness: https://t.co/j0yAouDDRM

@Kateatkin Hear hear that you certainly know who to go to for help 😍 That said, I think this is the same for all of us…and especially those of us in the field of positive psychology & change for good - we are drawn to study the change we not only want to see, but ‘be’. YOU’ve got this! 💪🏼
