If you have experience or knowledge of any therapeutic resources for #PsychologicalSupport, #Anxiety #Depression, adapted to facilitate supporting people living with #Aphasia, it would be great to hear about them. Thanks.

@psychmag Studied BSc for personal interest not career. Later had the opportunity to pursue psych role & completed a master's, clear on limits of work roles after MSc qual. Info on career paths has improved, but needs wider dissemination even before undergrad level study.

Thank you for running such a lovely session for us today @DeeptiPatel90!

Our clients really enjoyed sitting round to discuss the theme of autumn in our first Creative Writing Group.

Now they will be writing their own autumn inspired pieces - watch this space!

Today is #WorldLupusDay! 💜
Did you know it takes an average of 7 years for a patient to receive a diagnosis of #lupus in the UK?

[Vera Maynard @VeraXMaynard]

@StablesMK Good morning, for information alerting you to a problem with your email servers. I have multiple emails inviting me to book food for shows I never booked & which may very well be cancelled.

[Headway Milton Keynes @HeadwayKeynes]

A huge thank you to @MKComFoundation

#PipAppeal 298 days after DWP denied my sister's PIP claim, decision overturned by the 1st tier tribunal. Satisfied? Yes, but hard to celebrate the win when this has shadowed us both for almost a year. The process is badly in need of an overhaul.

[Lupus UK @LUPUSUK]

Do you have a visible difference as a result of your #lupus and live in UK? If so @Fabio_of_CAR at @CAR_UWE would love your help by taking a 20-min online research survey, exploring how much looks affect the way we live- to inform psychological support https://t.co/l9eStvJDvA

[Vera Maynard @VeraXMaynard]

Six months after initial PIP decision, three months since PIP appeal evidence submitted, yet still @CEOofHMCTS cannot provide an appeal date. #HMCTS #PIP #DisabilityPoverty #NotFitForPurpose
