Humanism and the social determinants of mental distress keep my mind ticking over, as does my practice as a Credentialed Mental Health Nurse and Psychotherapist

@bkjeremy @luciemorrismarr Thoughts with you and the memory of your friend. Kia kaha.

@sarahinthesen8 You are spot on Sarah. Let’s hope that one day hatred of women will be a thing of the past. You standing up to this points the way to such a day. I hope the support you receive relieves the burden you must be feeling a bit. Remember you are loved and respected for your stance

In order to get vaping legalised, people argue 'vaping helps give up smoking tobacco'

I'm sure it does - but if that was disproved would that be a reason to outlaw & prohibit vaping??

Hell no it wouldn't

What you ingest in your body is your Human Right

@plgirdler Next to Amanda Vanstone, Bishop is my second favourite Lib. Does this make me a Lib voter, well er, NO.

AIDS movies often leave me feeling that my generation’s history somehow being told by someone who wasn’t there. French movie BPM changes all that

We all need more of this in our lives; thanks for the reminder KB. https://t.co/rqNf1sEBK8

#PMHC2018 - Cath Roper. Let's address social issues rather than medicalising and pathologising risk factors

#PMHC2018 - Robert Trett. Psychotherapy in Nursing. Not illness focussed. Common Psychotherapy Factors, Human Capabilities, Interpersonal Relations Theory, are central to therapeutic effectiveness for MHNs. Trauma Informed Nursing, neuroplasticity underpin hope.

Aren’t the Victorian police supposed to be protecting citizens! Shame on them. https://t.co/8tGDwGQFWP

Fifteen years ago Portugal had a drug problem. Rather than declare a ‘war on drugs’ they decriminalised all drugs. Last year they had 1/50th of the US overdose rate. They won the war on drugs by not joining it. Norway has joined them, Australia hasn’t!

Sobering consumer comment. Over 17 yrs of work with some extremely “high risk- high trauma” people at the statewide PD service for Victoria, compulsory tx was used only once to my memory. Not perfection, but what we had therapeutically was less law, & more ourselves. https://t.co/dmc4GEiSlJ

[Mental Health @Sectioned_]

Every #mentalhealth service that trains staff to use physical restraint techniques, every service that detains patients against our will, should also be providing a service that gives open-ended support to patients to help us to deal with the after effects of what they do to us.

[NWMH Graduate Nurses💙 @NWMHgrads]

Can the nurses that keep telling U/G nursing students that they will lose their skills if they become a mental health nurse please stop. If you r saying this u have never worked in mental health. U dont lose ur skills u become a more skillful nurse #MentalHealthNursingMyths

[Senator Penny Wong @SenatorWong]

Very sad to see @MathiasCormann join @TurnbullMalcolm in refusing to condemn Senator Molan over his offensive Facebook posts. Hateful and divisive messages do nothing to protect us, they only divide us. They have no place in our society, and no place in our parliament. #senateqt

[Helen Clark @HelenClarkNZ]

Fully agree with this @rnz_news op ed on need for transformational justice policy to reduce prison numbers. Bail law reform, sentencing guidelines, & more enlightened drug policy could all contribute. #NZ prison numbers are high by western standards. https://t.co/bWUocSdISr
