@MentalHealthCop @Heccles94 How about a professional also with lived experience and experience of long term care responsibilities also? I think my opinions carry a great deal of validity considering I have applied theoretical standpoints to myself as well as have others analyse me from outside l🤔

Do I have anyone still on here? 🙏

@ermate Well if you weld yourself so firmly to a medical model of mental ill health then you completely eradicate any concept of social or environmental factors as having a role. How many times do you hear that a person does not have a treatable mental illness. Treatable with what?

[The Food Foundation @Food_Foundation]

Why do some communities have easy access to organic eggs, while others have easy access to blueberry vapes and cherry vodka?

@SingleDadSW reflects on visiting Yolk Farm and local food projects in #Yorkshire as part of a citizen-led inquiry into food (report out now on our website! ➡️ https://t.co/SYG5J9ZmIw)

Yorkshire stands out - there's real connection, passion and concern for communities, health and agriculture in the region. Can we learn from these fantastic examples? @AnnaLongthorp highlights the potential to source food locally, invest in local projects and boost the economy.

Yorkshire leading the way on food 💡

Today, a new film and report from the second ‘What Works Here Inquiry’ in 📍York and North Yorkshire is out, coordinated by @local_food and @FixOurFoodteam. Citizens heard from leaders across the food system, including Mayor David Skaith and found:

⚡ Strong devolved and joined-up leadership on food is having a real and positive impact on people living and working in Yorkshire

🌱 Local farm businesses are struggling to compete in a system dominated by multinational corporations – but local procurement could be a way forward

🎒 Great work is already happening in the region, including the auto-enrolment of children for #freeschoolmeals, which citizens think could be rolled out elsewhere

These findings will help inform the new Food Strategy, with citizens meeting with @DefraGovUK Secretary @angelaeagle next month ➡️ https://t.co/UqEf5ll6Oq

Them is v smart (legal types) people @mithransamuel ✔️

It’s #AMHPs that r mostly going to be expected to make this stuff work or not✔️

*U could/should a got one for a jolly day out in Manchester😉

**I am not convinced the “new” legislation will lead to the changes hoped for✔️

[Michael Brown 🌍 @MentalHealthCop]

Important perspective here from @Sectioned_ on the @HouseofCommons select committee report from someone with real experience of community care.

It often simply doesn't exist and not because of funding problems, but because care is just cut off.

[AsifAMHP @asifamhp]

See the point is…

Those in charge of this stuff actually know ✔️

NEW BLOG - “What Lessons Learned?”

Bereaved families seek it, senior officials promise it - why the difficulty in ensuring “lessons learned”?

@asifamhp One for your collection!

[AsifAMHP @asifamhp]

Here’s a thing✔️

Most people who take their own life’s don’t have SMI✔️

They choose a permanent solution to a temporary problem✔️

They tend to sit with suicidal ideation for a while✔️>

[Michael Brown 🌍 @MentalHealthCop]

Just acknowledging the change of emphasis and tone in some of my posts.

As you might imagine, I had less freedom whilst serving to post viewpoints about certain shortcomings, omissions or even failings or give dissenting opinions about programmes like street triage.

NEW PREVENTING FUTURE DEATHS REPORT -

The second PFD after the death of Kaine Fletcher.

Lays bear just how much policy, partnership and practice work there is to do in Nottingham on s136 MHA emergencies.

Nothing here which shouldn't already be known.

"Closed referral. Not engaging" 😡 When a service has offered one appointment at a location a person isn't comfortable going to, that's not the person who is not engaging #MentalHealth #SocialWork
