Travelling to Australia to promote the work of @extern1978 especially our Harm Reduction, Homelessness, Young People and Families, Refugee and Criminal Justice services and also hoping to bring back the very best practice to Ireland especially in the field of Social Enterprise
What a day @ the Annual Mental Health Conference. Blown away by everyone who spoke; their passion and frankness was refreshing. Really encouraged by what is happening and excited about where it will lead! #MentalHealthMatters @extern1978 @CAWTCrossBorder
Attended conference on Mental health and well-being in criminal justice sector and key recurring theme was no justice without health and no health without justice. Shocking that in England 8.6 times more likely to committ suicide in prison
@BeccaDove2@fayefirst@cypnow It was brilliant to have had the opportunity to hear about the fantastic work in Camden. Also having service users and communities at the centre of everything - empowering and emotive!!! Lots of learning should come from this model far and wide. Well done and thank you.
