In those tough times when we have reached out for help from 'services'. I wonder how often people have left feeling like they've had a 1) conversation and been listened to OR 2) been through an interrogation and been judged. 1 way works, 1 way doesn't. It's not complicated
In his latest blog @AndyDurman1 explores why it’s so important that we start seeing tough times differently if we want to create positive change #PTS#NewSystemAlly https://t.co/JPgjSxFFI3
If we are viewing, speaking about, defining & labelling someone as having support needs, then we have already lost sight of a person led & strengths based approach #systemchange@maydaytrust
Still nursing a "We all saw that right?!" feeling about yesterday's weird reaction by law enforcement in Washington, in contrast to their response to #BLM last year. What useful constructive thing can I do with this outrage? #WhitePrivilegedAndQuiteCross
This has been a tough year, especially for those who live on their own. Make sure to #LookOutForEachOther and be a #camerado. It doesn't take much, just a good cuppa, a chat and #BeMoreHuman.

10 years ago we stopped and listened. What we heard was captured through Wisdom from the Street - thank you to David Breakspear for putting this together and sharing it with us. Music Art of silence by Uniq. https://t.co/bbTTUnK77t
Wow. What an amazing week of conversation, passion, challenge, frustration and energy with the @NewSystemAlly launch.
Thank you to everyone who came along.
I'm overwhelmed and exhausted- time to digest and & have a gin.

I think this has been my favourite session so far. I'm fascinated by the topic of language and the power it has and the power it can hold over people. A long way to go but a fantastic start to addressing the issues language can bring. @NewSystemAlly@weareplatfform
I wonder if they fact-checked this with 'Dan' before they went to print. 'Dan do you have any friends? No, great that'll get us some more ££!'. #NewSystemAlly
