You never know what life can bring, me overtaking @redbullracing @F1 with @danielricciardo in a @mybilitychris powerchair! I should go @SilverstoneUK for #BritishGP & help @MercedesAMGF1 or @AstonMartinF1 what do you think @CroftyF1 😂 #SuicidePrevention #BatonOfHopeUk #F1

[Nick Wilson @disabledadventr]

Would you be the right people to speak with regarding how we can encourage @BBCNews to tell the stories of suicide survivors and not just those bereaved by suicide?

@NHSPostvention when I spoke to @GBNEWS as a #SuicideSurvivor

[Nick Wilson @disabledadventr]

Regardless thoughts of @GBNEWS & @mrmarkdolan they had courage speaking to a suicide attempt survivor on moving forward, managing dark thoughts & hope.
I now call on @BBCNews @itvnews @Channel4News @5_News @GMB @BBCBreakfast @BBCAccessAll to do the same #SuicidePrevention

[Nick Wilson @disabledadventr]

Which like I say is a great, important start & I'm not critical at all, part of my work is calling for the focus to be split equally between suicide attempts & deaths, so there can be a greater understanding of the bigger picture.
As you say, we still have so much to learn 💚

[Nick Wilson @disabledadventr]

I'd be very keen to support you with this if interested? I've got #LivedExperience and have been researching #Suicide for a number of years now, whilst also speaking to a large number of #SuicideSurvivors there's much we can learn by speaking to them

[Nick Wilson @disabledadventr]

Do you feel it should be extended to include, following the suicide attempt of a colleague?
40% of those introduced to suicide will make a suicide attempt, it's not solely on the death of someone by suicide.
#SuicidePrevention #SuicideSurvivor #SuicideAwareness

[Nick Wilson @disabledadventr]

This is a great start, though it needs to be extended, to include support for when a colleague attempts suicide. You're not only impacted by suicide when there's a death.

@Tanni_GT was referring to people with a #Disability, it's essential this context is made #BbcBreakfast, again #Disabled people seem to be "overlooked" or at least not "referred" to by yourselves, 3xstories in 2days!?

[BBC Breakfast @BBCBreakfast]

'It puts a huge barrier on people travelling'

Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson spoke to #BBCBreakfast about a public consultation, due to end today, on plans to close almost all rail station ticket offices in England

[Nick Wilson @disabledadventr]

Would you speak to @DailyMailUK if I can get the reporter who spoke to me interested?

[Nick Wilson @disabledadventr]

Oh crap buddy, I was going to message you today & get an update, how are you holding up? Are you getting support for your #MentalHealth?

[Nick Wilson @disabledadventr]

#AccessibleHousing wasn't discussed during interview with @michaelgove only #SocialHousing got mentioned, yet its a bigger issue amongst #Disabled
On a renting difficulties report today, #AccessibleHousing again wasn't included. Why?
@DisabilityExpo_ @DisRightsUK @BBC_HaveYourSay

[BBC Breakfast @BBCBreakfast]

'Critically we need to make sure we continue to take people with us'

Housing Secretary Michael Gove spoke to #BBCBreakfast after Rishi Sunak promised not to "unnecessarily" add costs and "hassle" to households to hit climate targets.

[Nick Wilson @disabledadventr]

#BBCBreakfast when you report on renting difficulties, please mention the #AccessibleHousing crisis for people with a #Disability it wasn't mentioned yesterday when you spoke to @michaelgove, myself & @A4IScott are at risk of homelessness @BBCBreakfast @BBCAccessAll @FoxNikkiFox

[Nick Wilson @disabledadventr]

[Nick Wilson @disabledadventr]

Thanks ever so much hunny, means alot 💚

[Love Disfigure @LoveDisfigure]

@disabledadventr @GBNEWS @mrmarkdolan @BBCNews @itvnews @Channel4News @5_News @GMB @BBCBreakfast @BBCAccessAll You did Amazing Nick. I thought you were extremely knowledgeable especially as a survivor of suicide. @BBCWorld @BBCNewsPR @BBCNews really should have you on their show/s, this is a very important subject. Myself as a survivor of suicide would like to feel part of a community

[Nick Wilson @disabledadventr]

Ever thought of changing the name from "crisis"?
I've been speaking to a number of people about this & there's some interesting feedback from guys.

[Nick Wilson @disabledadventr]

All the very best for today buddy, you'll be great

[Paul Hawkins @Paul_Hawkins_]

Ready for 9:30 start thanks for all your support 💚💛🙏

[Nick Wilson @disabledadventr]

Heya Daniel, I'd love to have a chat with you buddy on your #LivedExperience with #MentalHealth and the work you do?

[Daniel Kerley @danielsjourney1]

Little Saturday night check in.
I’m just sat outside the Chinese take away & I am absolutely gagging for it.
I’ve waited all week for this Chinese tonight.
It might be raining & blowing a gale but that won’t stop the Woks working. I can smell the food through the vents ha ha
Do something that makes you smile tonight, eat something naughty, watch Netflix, have a bath, eat some haribo, speak to someone who makes you feel good.
Whatever you do tonight. Have a bloody cracking night. Keep smiling, & hopefully when I’ve eaten this I can still function enough to tweet again ha ha

Be you. Do you. For you.❤️
