We're delighted to be working with @TowerHamletsNow to co-produce a long-term plan for perinatal mental health and parent-infant relationships. Please help us by sharing our survey so that we can hear from as many parents and carers as possible.

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Must watch @DrAmirKhanGP explains why it's hard to talk about the far right thug riots and the impact it's had on him, his family and his community

"Any person of colour like myself who goes out publicly and talks out against racism or the far right attacks puts themselves in a vulnerable position.. Not just from physical violence but also from online hate"

"This feeling that because of these riots, people of colour like myself aren't really truly British.. They will say Britishness is whiteness.. And people like us are tolerated as long as we conform and stay in a certain box"

"The minute we are too Asian or too Black or stand up against structural racism we're playing the race card"

"Albeit we are told to go back to our own country.. I was born here, this is my country, I want to make it more tolerable, but it's incredibly hard to talk about it"

"And more than that, it's exhausting"

Dear @Jeremy_Hunt, this is what you said in 2016. If you truly believe this, why didn’t you mention mental health once in today’s new budget?

No new mental health support teams in schools.
No funding for early mental health support hubs.
No mention of reducing waiting times.

Today was the Government’s last chance before the General Election to finally make young people’s mental health a priority.

It’s time to wake up.

The number of young people with mental health problems has almost doubled since 2016.

We are in a mental health emergency and we need radical and urgent action to stop young people from suffering.

[Jess Phillips @jessphillips]

On about the fifth name you can see that I look up and I choke as I go on to read the next name because what I saw when I looked up was the families of killed women standing up in the gallery as a mark of respect. It took everything I had to not just break down in tears.

[VeryBritishProblems @SoVeryBritish]

As I get older my tolerance gets lower. I often used to think, “this meeting could’ve been an email”, now it’s more, “this email could’ve been a thought you kept to yourself”.

[Dr Matt Price @DrMattPrice1]

This #childrensmentalhealthweek, we're shining a spotlight on #babies. Our experiences early in life have a big impact on our future wellbeing, including our mental health.
