If you have time before your little one arrives @KemiBadenoch we'd love to come and talk to you about babies' development, their wonderful capacity to communicate, and the importance of parent-infant relationships.

I’m reading LOADS of posts this week about extremely anxious ‘school refusal ‘ profile kids being discharged from #CAMHS because they ‘won’t engage’. More likely ‘cant’ engage and surely the job of the profs is to find out how to engage them.

@Fran_Proctor @InnerWorldWork @TheOpenNest @bea__gardner you need to be there!!

@nottmhospitals @nottslive @TeamNUH Yay for multi disciplinary working!! An idea from a consultant made reality by OT's in partnership with ward nurses and parents!

[EllieOTOverton @OtOverton]

@Rubywax I've been chatting to parents about our clever brains!! And its so lovely when they have lightbulb moments of.. oh wow, okay.. this makes sense for our children. Its brought me much healing too!

[EllieOTOverton @OtOverton]

@cmackenzies Sorry @cmackenzies . I'm frustrated on your behalf. I hope I didnt cause further confusion, I was typing my thoughts as they came wanting to problem solve but that isn't always helpful! Better luck tomorrow?

YouTube videos explaining areas of being in care or leaving care!!! Share the life out of this!! the sector has needed this for a long long time. Huge thanks to all involved in creating them

[EllieOTOverton @OtOverton]

@suzannezeedyk The manufacturers designers and sellers should definitely consider it and parents should therefore have all the info and choice! X

@cmackenzies You can call nhs 111 too and explain the situation... they can arrange an out of hours GP consultation if the CPN has given them a copy of their letter explaining?

[EllieOTOverton @OtOverton]

@cmackenzies I've also been that mental health professional searching the building for a doctor. Calling the on call psyhciatrist. Using the ward doctor. And thats not okay either!! Professionals are there to work together! I got told off a few times for 'bothering the psychiatrist' !!

[EllieOTOverton @OtOverton]

@cmackenzies Can a pharmacist fill the gap with a letter/convo with the cpn? They can do some stuff. Its not good enough for you to have to wait for treatment like this!

[EllieOTOverton @OtOverton]

@suzannezeedyk What if a parent cant afford the choice!?? Theres enough guilt in mothering!

[EllieOTOverton @OtOverton]

@suzannezeedyk Be careful not to spread fear though!!the pressure parents can be under, especially new parents can actually cause more stress and cause a detachment from their children for those reasons...??
