How do MH profs not make a single mention of DWP and current drastic proposed reforms?

Now it needs to come out against non-consensual "positive risk taking". x.com/DrOliverLewis/…

Professionals, do you include impact of dwp in your patients care plans?

Recovery in the Bin Mental Health Professionals, do you do care plans ? asking for a friend 😏

Just heard the presenter on Radio Four call sick and disabled people “a burden, a burden on themselves and a burden on the state.”

Today, every post from Labour is telling us once again that only 'working people' are worthy of a decent life while telling us that disabled people are only worthy of being thrown under the bus. It is quite sick if you think about it. Labour is dead.

Not going to reshare posts to draw attention to it but EPUT stop posting photos of patients on social media, it's wildly inappropriate, unethical and potentially unsafe. See our statement published with National Survivor User Network here nsun.org.uk/news/stop-taki…

What's the UK is attempting to do to disabled people at the moment isn't just eugenics... As eugenics is more about the next generations. It's actually Democide... State-sanctioned murder essentially.

Just in case the government missed the message: we are not going away. A statement from the Independent Alliance on Nakba Day.

Does a medication exist that actually lessens the intensity of flashbacks or reduce/stop them? Preferably as a PRN rather than daily med? Probably too much to ask for?!

If you look at this child and see a terrorist You have completely lost your humanity

Work and pensions secretary Liz Kendall has refused to apologise after repeatedly misleading MPs by suggesting that her planned cuts of billions of pounds to personal independence payment were linked to supporting disabled people into work. disabilitynewsservice.com/kendall-refuse…

Terrible mixed messaging from BACP  Yes, let’s mix up therapy with pushing people into work - what could possibly go wrong? They've clearly not consulted survivors Hoping for some work contracts? bacp.co.uk/news/news-from… Shame on you

Recovery in the Bin BACP This is 100% a sales pitch for getting contracts out of the government. Plainly so, imo. They also claim that CBT and e.g. counselling are equally effective, and im sorry, but citation needed on that one. People with disabilities often struggle with, e.g., CBT, for starters.

Genuinely an introduction to a module on social and community mental health in the academic year of our lord 2024-5: *citing a speech on closing the asylums* Enoch Powell was a Greek scholar and he was very good at speeches Great did he make any other ones or

There should be an unbreakable firewall between the DWP and therapy / mental health treatment. Nothing else is safe.

Yes I had it used to on me recently and it led to one of my worst suicide attempts. And I wasn’t in active crisis that day before I was told I had capacity.

60k homeless people U.K. You don’t have to imagine what will happen now when proposed disability benefits kick in. Government will be well aware of homeless stats for disabled and pushed ahead with cuts anyway because they’re democidal, inhumane bastards. 🤬

Deeply disturbing to see BACP aligning themselves with government plans that will harm & kill disabled ppl. Begging for a seat at the table while lives are at risk is not advocacy, it’s betrayal. Mh care should not be weaponised. WORK IS NOT A HEALTH OUTCOME. #DisabilityJustice
