The Unravelling Fantasia of Miss H - a contemporary opera inspired by the life of Mary Frances Heaton. Yorkshire tour Feb / Mar 2023

[YoungMinds @YoungMindsUK]

Dear @Jeremy_Hunt, this is what you said in 2016. If you truly believe this, why didn’t you mention mental health once in today’s new budget?

No new mental health support teams in schools.
No funding for early mental health support hubs.
No mention of reducing waiting times.

Today was the Government’s last chance before the General Election to finally make young people’s mental health a priority.

It’s time to wake up.

The number of young people with mental health problems has almost doubled since 2016.

We are in a mental health emergency and we need radical and urgent action to stop young people from suffering.

[Mental Health Museum @MHMwakefield]

A few photos from last night's @artwalkwake where the Museum team got the chance to see the incredible @Yorkshire_STN memorial quilt. It was such a moving experience; each square stitched with love to remember those lost to suicide.

[One Small Thing @OSTCharity]

Figures show a 37% increase in self harm in female establishments Dec 21- Dec 22. This trend needs to end. Most women could be safely supported within the community, instead of sending them to an environment which exacerbates trauma and increases their risk of harm.

@victoriansleuth Shut the front door

[News@Leeds @Leedsnewsdays]

Our podcast team went to @LeftBankLeeds to review "The Unravelling Fantasia of Miss H," about Doncaster-born Mary Frances Heaton.

In 2020, Wakefield Council recognised her needlework samplers as early examples of art therapy treatment for mental health.
