Curious over thinker working in mental health recovery. Yes, I am very tall. Views expressed are my own.

@ccrichton Thank you for creating a lovely, unique, warm, kind practice ideal for nervous patients. Best of luck to you both with whatever your next adventure is, enjoy.

[Naoise Cunningham @nrcunningham]

If you have the skills/comms experience and are motivated by equality and social justice for people with enduring mental health difficulties this may be of interest. Lovely colleagues in @HAILHousing and an employee friendly culture in a dynamic and innovative organisation

This may be of interest to people looking to get experience of research in mental health. @MichaelJohnNor1 will no doubt be a great mentor in this process #volunteering #mentalhealth

[Michael John Norton @MichaelJohnNor1]

Have you experience in quantitative research & analysis. Have you an interest in #mentalhealth. If the answer to both is yes, we want to hear from you!!!!

A great resource from @lustforlife A list of helplines to support you to manage your mental health during this Christmas season. This is a particularly difficult time as so many mental health services close so these helplines are more important and valuable than ever.

[A Lust For Life @lustforlife]

You are never alone.
Please share this image of our National Helplines and help people get the support they need.

You are never alone, help is available to us all.

VFM in incorporating “green social prescribing” in to treatment. 2 hours in nature could join five a day regular exercise as official health advice. Australian research indicating visits to green spaces of 30 minutes a week reduced overall rates of depression by 7%.

Ireland “far behind comparable countries in providing a comprehensive forensic mental health service when a mentally ill person encounters the criminal justice system”.Insightful capture of service user views. Under resourcing services compounding inequality in care. @MHCIreland

[Mental Health Commission Ireland @MHCIreland]

Our new report outlines how Irish prisoners and people in the community who require forensic treatment for their mental illnesses are not being afforded the same access and quality of mental health care as the general population.

Ireland’s Mental Health Pandemic “Many spoke of meeting kind mental-health professionals who helped them, but most also described system failures that left them feeling distressed and alone and, often, not sick enough to deserve help.”

[Naoise Cunningham @nrcunningham]

Brilliant initiative from @MHCIreland & @HIQA endorsing a rights based approach and the value of working in partnership with the people/clients/service users at the centre of the process.

[HIQA @HIQA]

Together with @MHCIreland, we have developed an online module to support staff working with people with disabilities to work in a way that promotes their rights, health and wellbeing, and reduces the risk of harm to them. Find out more here: https://t.co/6GqTDeMUuc #IDPD

An increase of 42% in combined episodes of physical restraint & seclusion between 2008-2019 illustrates a need for a rethink re training & delivery of supports. This wouldn’t be necessary if MH services were adequately funded to deliver community based support. @MHCIreland

[Mental Health Commission Ireland @MHCIreland]

This morning, we published a report on the use of restrictive practices (physical restraint, seclusion and mechanical restraint) across approved mental health centres in 2019.

"Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always". The last few months have been difficult for all of us in many different ways. As we plan ahead lets check in on each other, and put ourselves in each other's shoes.

[Naoise Cunningham @nrcunningham]

Brilliant insight from Louise O’Leary @StPatricks Women’s mental health must be considered with acknowledgment of gender inequality in terms of risk factors, social and economic context and biases in research, assessment and treatment. @NWCI @MHReform

[Womenscouncilireland @NWCI]

Louise O'Leary from @StPatricks and our Women's Mental Health Network partner points out that we cannot look at women's mental health without looking at the world they live in. #coalitionconversations @MHReform
