We also discussed how our members were finding our virtual forums 🗣️"It really uplifted me. Reinforced what we’re doing with Revolving Doors"🗣️

Another member told us that our online zoom support was really helpful & meant they could now use it to connect with friends & family.

[Revolving Doors @RevDoors]

Undercutting these themes were people’s resilience and the value of peer support during this time. Message from one of our members👉🗣️"stay strong, reach out and talk to people" #COVID19

What a brilliant start to our @RDInvolvement forums! Two key themes emerged around positivity & connectivity👉Members discussed how this could be an opportunity to grow & connect with people, especially those we enjoy speaking with but don't always have the time to connect with.

Last week we held our first @RDInvolvement virtual forum. Members discussed the impact that Covid-19 was having on their lives and put together a list of 5 things that were helping them manage the current situation. First and foremost, we must be kind to ourselves 👇

Great article by @SueSuevic2109 Food for thought about our experience of isolation...

[WEPHREN @wephren]

Read a new blog post on WEPHREN from an expert with lived experience of prisons as to how isolation in prison is different to that in the community. #COVID19 #prisonhealth https://t.co/hAOyPsX4j3

Quote from the first online Revolving Doors forum using Zoom : "I am really glad I did it to be fair. Made me feel miles better."

"Coronavirus will thrive in British jails: prisoners face a death sentence" Hear from @markwasted talking to the @SocietyGuardian about life in #prison during #coronavirus https://t.co/eLy0bdb5h6

#ICYMI the latest blog about our lived experience forums & our work with the National Expert Citizens Group (NECG) is on our website. Members told us why they felt the forums were an important space to connect, learn and collaborate for system change: https://t.co/vHnkiI1CUR

Being released from prison on a Friday is difficult enough, but being released in the current #COVID19 crisis is overwhelming. Right now more than ever, we need to be providing all with a safe place to sleep, financial support & mental health help, so all feel hope for the future

Our coalition urges @MoJGovUK to prioritise community & suspended sentences ahead of #shortsighted custodial sentences of 6 months or less for all non-violent offences. #SaveLives by preventing the spread of Covid-19 in our prisons. Join our coalition here https://t.co/LG7M6gOeip

People with complex needs go through the criminal justice system at breakneck speed. Services are stretched. People in the revolving door are at great risk of infection and death. That’s why we are calling for government action to #savelives. Join us: https://t.co/z3RWq4hlv5
