@NIHRresearch @OxfordBRC This is so interesting. My breathlessness has been a feature ever since I had covid in 2020. It gets particularly bad when I am outside in the cold and if I try and fight off any other cold. Be very interested in learning more about the study or being part of it.

Today is Self-Harm Awareness Day: Self-harm is still misunderstood and stigmatised, even though 75% of 16-25 year-olds either know or have known someone who has self-harmed. Having a conversation today brings us a step closer to reducing stigma. https://t.co/FG8QptCQSa

Being able to communicate well is such an important skill that has a big impact on our daily lives - so maybe schools should focus on teaching the art of conversation, says Hanna Beech

Self-love is revolutionary. We cannot fight for others when we're fighting a war inside ourselves. Compassion is a power that we first bestow on ourselves & then give away through our actions—to people, to our planet. When we recognize this, that is when love becomes our legacy.
