@nytdavidbrooks Appreciate your quest for a more person-centered culture. I share the concern that we are ignoring psychological capacity building . But as humanistic psychologists Maslow & Rogers said 60yrs ago we must focus on consciousness-ways of being- not skill sets. Open to emergent.
@davidaxelrod You are right about it takes to nurture a democracy but what you describe is a level of mental development that only a minority reach. It also requires spaces designed for emotional growth. The right's assault on education at all levels means collective maturity is in reverse.
1/3 of all mental health 'treatments' in England involve no human interaction at all. Patients are rather offered apps, web-based interventions & self-guided CBT online courses, instead of face-to-face talking therapy.... As if more bots are what we need.

@ChrisMurphyCT@davidaxelrod This is true on so many levels. Educators must call out this betrayal of the human need for authentic encounter with the emergent new.
Local councils can be key allies - or obstacles - in our plans for community-led change. We’re offering a short programme this May/ June funded by @ECOLISE supporting Transition groups to work with councils. Find out more and apply by 2 May to take part: https://t.co/0dmPcwOEbn
@Hannah_YD I hear your struggle Hannah--much like mine while president of an under resourced university. I eventually learned how to expand what I considered resources. Making a way out of no way. Sharing both frustration and the meaning with companions was part of my resource well.
@thoughtland@NicolaSturgeon Interesting how similar her words are to those of Jacinda Ardhern when she stepped down. What can we learn about how toxic political roles are to strong women.
My heart is heavy at the news of killings at MSU. Spartan Village and the Plant Research lab were my first homes in the US in 1969. Sparrow Hospital saved my life when I got a serious infection. Somehow those early connections stay deep. Go Spartans.
