Needed more than ever, not less. Don’t cancel these sessions, and check in with people more. Isolation and uncertainty are times to increase our understanding, not park it until the sun shines again!
@charlie_psych Millions being invested and awarded into research, workplace, studies etc etc and it’s access to limited or zero services with ridiculous hoops and waiting lists that we’re struggling with. That’s what I see anyway!?
@charlie_psych A similar approach is used in our transactional analysis group check ins, I could do with it being a more universal approach in everyday life 😊
I’m probably going to be ranty today folks. Sorry. Well not really. For more than a decade I’ve been challenging attitudes to mental health at work & the pace of progress is horrible. Too much talk. Not enough action. We need REAL ACTION & that means addressing workplace causes.
On World Mental Health Day I say only this. Corporate employers & law firms of the UK. Quit window dressing & virtue signalling & really address the abhorrent workplace treatment of those with mental ill health. Your hypocrisy makes me want to vomit on a daily basis.
Congratulations to our new mental health first aiders - who successfully completed Aon's inaugural Mental Health First Aid course earlier this week. #WorldMentalHealthDay#mentalhealth#MHFA
On Wednesday @HopeVirgo is taking the #DumpTheScales Petition to Downing Street - help make the Government take this seriously by adding your name! Together we can end the injustices of people with #EatingDisorders https://t.co/m6IiTur24A
Mother’s Day can be a time of celebration and gratitude for some, but for others, it can be difficult and painful. If you know someone who may be struggling this Mothering Sunday, reach out, let them know you're there & that whatever they're going through, it's ok to say.
Having been a practitioner for 15 years I can attest to this. When working with someone you discover very quickly where they hold their stress and trauma in their body. There can be quite an emotional release.
Yesterday I ran a very short session for an empassioned group, given time constraints we focused on nothing more complex than this..it doesn’t have to be hard, sometimes it just needs permission #mentalhealth#mentalhealthawareness#suicidefirstaid
I’ve published some guidelines around public speaking on mental health / mental ill health, it’s time we had some to protect us all and those we speak to, these are just first thoughts based on conversations with those I trust as experts, thoughts?: https://t.co/uwlbdt3hVa
