Just a friendly reminder that there is never an appropriate time to say “But, she’s your mom” to people who have complex relationships with their mother. No one hopes for his. They’re dealing with pain you know nothing about. If you can’t be kind, be quiet.

The Black Mental Health Manifesto, launched today, sets out the actions needed by the Government, the NHS, schools and others to eradicate systemic racism and improve Black people’s mental health.

A lot of survivors have parents who are loved in public but rage at home. Think about that next time you are tempted to say “But they were so nice to me.” That’s because you got a performance and their kids got the pain.

Wishing all celebrating today, a joyful Eid-Al-Fitr. May it bring peace, understanding and compassion to all. #EidMubarak

If you can't wrap your head around someone who had no choice but to become estranged from a parent, then you won’t be able to wrap your head around the unbearable history that lead to their decision. Even if you can't make sense of it, you can respect it & not add to their pain.

'This can reduce the disproportionality in the detention of Black men. Not only is that a strategic objective for us but a moral imperative.'

Chair of NHS Maudsley Sir Norman Lamb in his closing remarks at the @IoPPN webinar on the #AdvanceChoiceDocuments project we've funded.

'It's not a case of will I be unwell again, but when...at all of these times, I am still a person with choices and wishes that knows what is best for me.'

Our new project has received £2.5m @MaudsleyCharity funding to roll-out #AdvanceChoiceDocuments across NHS Maudsley, allowing patients to set out their wishes for how they would want to be treated during a future #MentalHealth crisis or relapse.
