We are proud to launch our Manifesto for the next @WelshGovernment election.

Building Back Better Mental Health in Wales by -

1) Eradicating the social determinants of poor mental health

2) Creating an integrated poverty and mental health strategy

@MindCymru - “there were concerns about staff shortages, care planning and the use of restraints at mental health inpatient units across Wales.“

It’s time for real change.

@queeraspsych @KScior Sounds like we need to do way more to create brave spaces together so that we don’t get paralysed by assumptions and fear? What does that need to look like do you all think?

[Katrina Scior @KScior]

@PsychangeCymru @UCL_DClinPsy Thanks @PsychangeCymru! Our trainees submitted their theses only a week earlier, many are still finishing off. They could have enjoyed the sunshine at last. Instead they baked and crafted coz they care and have understood the most fundamental lesson @lilyhannahlevy @UCL_DClinPsy

[Fauzia C @queeraspsych]

Absolutely 💯 @PsychangeCymru @KScior #UCL #Glasgow #Kings #ClinPsy all held fundraising and awareness events in the last two weeks. What strikes me is how many people come up and thank us for breaking the silence and raising awareness. Imagine we all got together?

[Psychange Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @PsychangeCymru]

@KScior @UCL_DClinPsy @lilyhannahlevy All of that as well - on top of leading breaking the silence! There is a lot of power at play there.

It is wonderful to see DClin trainees across the UK supporting the Palestinian people. And especially the @UCL_DClinPsy group.

Do not underestimate what it would have taken for this to rise through. Respect to you all. 🙌🍉💪🇵🇸👏

New campaign launched today to persuade next Government to commit to reducing health inequalities. New data reinforces the public care about the nation's health. Sign petition at https://t.co/4ppRA24t4H to encourage parliamentary candidates to promote health equity.

Have to agree with @Jendaffin @weareplatfform Equality and justice are positive mental health interventions 👏🏿👏👏🏾🌈☀️💛🌟💫

A new article by @Shrink_at_Large uses the concept of epistemic injustice to argue that Borderline Personality Disorder #BPD silences patient voices and perpetuates harmful stereotypes.

We feel very disappointed that the voice of people who have a diagnosis of BPD are absent from this article.

Prof Chanen, who has built a career on the diagnosis gets a strong voice but what about people with lived experience? They’re super important.

@AoCuana @Keirwales @Mad_In_Ireland That’s amazing can you share any more about this please?

[Psychange Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @PsychangeCymru]

This is an important human rights issue. For a safer Wales we must address this 🧵 👇

[Psychange Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @PsychangeCymru]

These are such brave and powerful stories about accessing mental health services and having your experience’s overshadowed.

The harmful impact of not listening or being compassionate and curious is clear.

🙏🙌😍👏👏👏

[Platfform @weareplatfform]

The diagnosis of personality disorder doesn’t tell us the full story.

We’re trying to hear as many people as we can giving their own different accounts of receiving this diagnosis, and of the wider factors that impact on mental health.

Stark warnings from @osh_elis, Chief Officer at Gorwel / @Grwp_Cynefin, who warned there is a ‘high possibility of system collapse’ if there is no additional funding, and highlighted the extra pressure that would put on health, social services and criminal justice.

We'll see more people finding themselves homeless. But this can be averted if the Labour Government does one simple thing 🧵

Increasing the Housing Support Grant is essential if we are to stop a new generation of people becoming homeless and @Plaid_Cymru have been consistent /1

[Sam Austin 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇺 @sam_austin14]

Good to see @Katie_Dalton on @BBCWalesNews stating devastating impact on homelessness & support services of no inflationary increase in @WelshGovernment HSG funding. Protecting the grant from cuts STILL means a cut. Services will stop & people will die w/o additional funding

[Nation.Cymru @NationCymru]

Homelessness in Wales may rise to previously unseen levels if real-term cuts announced for the housing sector are confirmed, according to one of the nation’s leading experts in the field ✍️@ShiptonMartin 👉 https://t.co/sx7B8Nmm1Q
