As cruel as this is, it’s really that simple. We have to #shiftthedial on child health inequalities otherwise we are stacking up major health problems for the future RCPCH Kevin Fenton Ian Sinha (wheezylikesundaymorning) Sir Michael Marmot Rukshana Kapasi💚

Watching my mum grieve the death of her son, my brother, is gut wrenchingly painful . There are kind words but there are no words that fill the void of her deep heartbreak. We are all changed forever.

Do you have any idea how it feels, to suspect if you are ever beaten to death, even by your fiancé, that the narrative will focus on the man and how he seemed nice, and not about you, and your untimely woman death?

So true

Feeling sluggish? It might be grief.

This guy would’ve turned 30 yesterday. This little boy did not once think “I will choose a short adult life, utterly #dependent & #addicted to #substances that will kill me”. We NEED #support, understanding & compassion in available services in society. #mentalhealth #addiction

It's time to challenge stigma by talking openly about the issues surrounding alcohol. People who are alcohol dependent are sometimes discriminated against, they may be actively ignored, avoided, or dehumanised. This needs to change! Find out more: alcoholchange.org.uk/alcohol-facts/…

“It’s an illness and without the right support, you end up in a catastrophic situation like my mum did.” Thank you @SarBritcliffeMP for sharing your story. Improved treatment and support for people with alcohol dependence and their families is critical to reduce alcohol harm.

That's a wrap on #CPC23 with Alcohol Change UK !👋 We've been hard at work raising awareness of alcohol harm in the UK and how decision makers can take action to save lives, reduce pressure on our #NHS and boost the economy. Next stop ... Liverpool for The Labour Party conference 🚚

Another useful thing said to me this week. It has been hard for us because you have been so upset by the death of your brother. Thanks, that's useful to know. #bereaved
