@iridescent0star The crisis teams are the same they have just changed the system so people call 111 and it’s meant to redirect to the local crisis team. I didn’t realise they request a call back tho I wonder if it’s because they are being inundated.

This news won’t make Back to School headlines today, but it ought to be everywhere: Under this gov, a child born on 5th September 2006 can, if taken into care tonight, be placed in a hostel, caravan/barge with no guaranteed adult supervision. And their 15-year classmate, who is

I have had the choice to focus on education and a career unlike my grandmothers who had limited choices and became housewives and married at 20. I’m also poor, don’t own a house, the world is on fire, and WW3 is around the corner. This is a societal issue not a woman’s issue.

@Beth_Tastic @Neurodiversit19 My area is one of the lucky ones that offers a post-diagnostic adult service for autism which I am fortunate enough to work for and it supports those who may need help with benefits, housing, mental health etc but it’s just such a shame that its a rare commodity #supportforautism

Chaos.
Abuse.

Does anyone know how one would record 0 hour contract work (so various hours) on a #dclinpsy application?

Please stop glorifying overwork. This sets an unhealthy standard for graduate students, who model the behaviors of those they admire. While working nights/weekends may, at times, be inevitable, finding work-life harmony is essential for surviving in academia.

Pronouns FAQ… since people have had Qs! 🧵
