I'm working on @PlayingON_ 's 'Flock' at @derbytheatre and I want to connect with youth workers/social workers/care experienced YP and those who support them in the East Midlands to offer discounted tickets to the show - who do I need to talk to? 🙂🗣️
Brilliant morning! How amazing to have so many like-minded, dedicated, & caring professionals all together, & together wanting the VERY best for our Coventry kids 🫡

Are you a mental health professional?
Just a plug for this toolkit https://t.co/ny7PKezmhE which can help you talk to clients about their finances, as the link between mental health issues and money problems are so strong
It was developed with help from my charity @mmhpi
Another month of NHS data, another month of record referrals. This trend continues to go up at an alarming rate and urgently needs to be a top priority for those in power.
How much worse does the situation need to get before the Government is prompted to do something about it?
Each referral should mean a young person is being supported. But too often they struggle to access the help they desperately need and are forced into long waits while their mental health deteriorates. The consequences of this can be devastating.
Every young person should be able to access the mental health support they need, when they need it, no matter what.
We need urgent action from the Government to make this a reality. We need more support in schools and support hubs in every community. And we need the Government to commit to reducing prevalence rates.
There is just a few more days left to nominate a care experienced person to win one of our Festive Friendship Bags! We want to spread some Christmas joy by giving 20 #CEP a bag of goodies, including a Madlug Bag and an Amazon voucher! Find out more here: https://t.co/3K7OoZdUf3
