People genuinely compared #Boardmasters2022 to Woodstock ‘99?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@balatacarter @boardmasters @SouthWestWater A lot of the water taps are hand washing taps within the portaloo sections- bit unsanitary pressing the same taps to fill your water that people who have just had a poo are pressing to wash their hands x

@Elizabellajames @CornwallFRS @boardmasters @SkyNews Some camp sites STILL don't have water- just spoke to someone who's had their tent robbed of all their water bottles. Lots of the water taps in the main arena are dribbling hot water, that won't help protect against heatstroke!

Oooh love this thought! I don't think I've ever met anyone who has agreed with the EUPD name. What do you think @BPDFFS ?

[Robyn🦔 @tumultuous_mind]

***discussion time***
The stigma around the diagnosis EUPD needs to stop. It needs to be recognised as a trauma disorder…Emotionally unstable trauma response seems more fitting…do you agree? @Chilypep @DSM5 @rcpsych

A snapshot of STAMP- Dylan makes the best icebreaker games. This week was Amazon Cardboard Cut-Outs: Higher or Lower? 😂

Covid may have got in the way of our xmas party in December, but we can still have some festive fun in January! Complete with a @Dominos_UK and pass the parcel! #youthwork #improviseadaptovercome

[STAMP Sheffield @STAMPYouthSheff]

In our STAMP session on Monday we played the folding monster game- here are some of our creations! Neptune, Jessie, Bört and Ronnie Hotdogs!!

Becks showing off what's going to be in the goody bags we're handing out at @soditsheffield CoPro Fest tomorrow! Come see us in #NorfolkPark and say hi!!

[Becks Batley @BecksBatley]

This theme is my favourite- Put the Us in Coronavirus! Young people have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic and need support with the long lasting effects!

[STAMP Sheffield @STAMPYouthSheff]

#Day8 - the final day of our #OCTAcampaign!
Many young people have struggled with mental health problems throughout the pandemic, and it’s still affecting so many lives. That’s why, now more than ever, it is essential we improve young people’s mental health services in Sheffield.

[Becks Batley @BecksBatley]

Put the Unity in Our Green Community! We need to make #Sheffield a more mental health friendly place!

[STAMP Sheffield @STAMPYouthSheff]

#Day7 of the #OCTAcampaign
Community events can really help young people feel more comfortable reaching out about their mental health

[Becks Batley @BecksBatley]

Keep Us in the Loop, Don't Make us Jump Through Hoops! Communication between individual services needs to improve, as well as communication to young people around their care!

[STAMP Sheffield @STAMPYouthSheff]

#OCTAcamapign #Day6
Young people often aren’t told what is going on with their care, and can go months without talking to anyone

[Becks Batley @BecksBatley]

Please Repair Crisis Care! Young people in a crisis need a lot more than what is currently on offer!

[STAMP Sheffield @STAMPYouthSheff]

#Day5 of our #OCTAcampaign
Crisis Care is there for young people to help them through a very difficult time, so it’s critical we get it right.

[Becks Batley @BecksBatley]

Treat the Human, Not the Label! Young people in Sheffield face a lot of discrimination when accessing mental health support, based on their diagnosis/ethnicity/sexual identity and this needs to change!!

[STAMP Sheffield @STAMPYouthSheff]

#OCTAcampaign #Day4!
Every young person is different, so what may work for one person with a certain diagnosis will not necessarily work for another!
