A different photo today for #davesdailyphoto. A picture of trees at sunset. Here I deliberately moved the camera vertically, making the trees look on fire, with their memories behind. A reminder of our fragile planet. @DWMHNHS #environnement #photography

Neurdiversity Celebration Week

Neurodiversity is a spectrum, where people think differently, but as such are often rejected by society.

Like a rainbow, I am on the Autistic Spectrum. Help me help others and sponsor me, on my walk for Autism.

So important that Dr’s get suicide prevention training. Also that support mechanisms are put in place for Dr’s themselves.

We ask 'what actions will get the suicide numbers down?'

We hear "must do something in #schools"

Many others hear the same

@3dadswalking petitioned for #SuicidePrevention in schools & got 170K signatures

But Govt still resisting

So sign this also👇

@rob_shipley The figures are shocking for autistic people, with many more undiagnosed.

Hi All, we are hosting our first in-person poetry group on the 10/10/23. The group is called (un)spoken word, as too often peoples mental health is not talked about, this group helps unspoken words be spoken. All welcome, it is also a friendly and supportive atmosphere.
