“Try to talk in non-medical jargon
Ask if they’ve understood
Ask if they’ve any questions
Give time for questions
Give my contact details so they can email me
Signpost them to places like https://t.co/84OTipAQiW
Try to make every contact count”

Thanks for the great tips, Mandy!

@WeCanTalkCYPMH It really is ok to not feel ok 100% of the time. You are enough. Hang in there.

[Crisis Tools | For Young People's Mental Health @CrisisToolsCYP]

This is what they told us.

"Inclusion in service design makes young people feel valued, listened to, helps to build trust in services and has a positive influence on the quality-of-service young Black men receive when accessing crisis services."

[Crisis Tools | For Young People's Mental Health @CrisisToolsCYP]

We know that young black men are more exposed to many of the known risk factors for poor #MentalHealth.

That, combined with the stigma of seeking treatment stops young black men from seeking support.

Both before and during times of crisis…🧵

Looking for some further reading on #accessibility? 📚

Here are the resources we continually refer to for guidance. They're considered to be the gold standard in accessibility.

Thrilled that British Sign Language (BSL) will finally be recognised as an official language.

A real win for #accessibility and inclusion.

The British Deaf Association says this will give deaf people ‘equal access to education and public services’.

[Scope for business @Scope_business]

Plain English is not over-simplifying or patronising. And it's not just about #accessibility.

In a fast-paced world, there are so many things fighting for our attention. Being able to read and understand information easily and quickly benefits everyone.

@emma_vogelmann @StylistMagazine Well done, Emma! Great interview 👏

[Scope for business @Scope_business]

The biggest barriers to accessibility in organisations:

1. Lack of clear ownership 43%
2. Lacking ‘the right people or skills’ 16%
3. Finding it hard to justify spending money 11%
