@TimetoChange @WeMHNurses Breaking the stigma around talking about mental health is so very important.

[Chris Willis @ChrisWillisPUNC]

@WeMHNurses Still a long way away from parity of esteem with physical health. Hopefully things will start to change.

[Chris Willis @ChrisWillisPUNC]

@NurChat Looking forward to this, hopefully manage my expectations for my upcoming first placement.

[Chris Willis @ChrisWillisPUNC]

@rmoheeputh @WeNurses Thank you! Any questions in particular? Or tips on being inquisitive without being annoying or sounding incompetent?

[Chris Willis @ChrisWillisPUNC]

@NurChat I have personally found it helpful when my GP surgery remind me via text and email.

[Chris Willis @ChrisWillisPUNC]

@WeNurses Any top tips for my first placement? Mental health nursing in Cornwall? Thank you.

[Chris Willis @ChrisWillisPUNC]

@PUNC14mickyr @PUNC15Simi @puncOso @PUNC14 That is really encouraging! #punc14

[Chris Willis @ChrisWillisPUNC]

@PUNC14mickyr @puncOso @PUNC14 @PUNC15Simi #punc14 Entirely agree Michael, Normalising the conversation, breaking the taboo.

[Chris Willis @ChrisWillisPUNC]

@PuncBiscuit @PUNC14 #punc14 understandably people are weary of what they don't know. We need to make MH illness less taboo.

[Chris Willis @ChrisWillisPUNC]

@punc14Audrey @PUNC14 #punc14 Agreed that the correlation between physical health and mental health needs to be stressed.

[Chris Willis @ChrisWillisPUNC]

@punc_jo @NewcrossHealth @NurChat Agreed, like sex education it needs to become nontaboo subject that can be discussed openly @ home#punc14

[Chris Willis @ChrisWillisPUNC]

@puncOso @punc15Naz #punc14 why do they need labels in order to discuss mental health?

[Chris Willis @ChrisWillisPUNC]

@punc15Naz @PUNC14 @puncvickieren #punc14 Surely this needs to start at home, the more done with parents = less done with children in crisis

[Chris Willis @ChrisWillisPUNC]

@PUNC15hlw @puncemma #punc14 I feel like it is talked about more and is less hidden, not sure that has anything to do with this strategy.

[Chris Willis @ChrisWillisPUNC]

@puncmichaela @PUNC14 @punc15Naz I agree with @puncMike it should be a normal part of our conversations and not taboo #punc14

[Chris Willis @ChrisWillisPUNC]

@PUNCbeth @PUNC15hlw How then do you combat the stigma attached to mental health provision?

[Chris Willis @ChrisWillisPUNC]
