Good to see Prince Harry still tackling MH stigma now with children in Nigeria with Megan bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

It was my honour to do so & listen to colleagues across Europe working to address & research MH stigma. Very moving to hear from Gulnara who was incarcerated for over 10yrs in psychiatric hospitals in Kazakhstan and Aigul who works on human rights and helped secure her discharge

Bernice Pescosolido opens #WPAIceland stigma conf “We’re here to push for research/policy change/progs to address MH stigma. We need action on all levels inc. national & local as I can’t think of anything more cruel than working on self stigma & then going into a cruel world”

V proud of @doc_bipolar & her courage in sharing her lived experience of MH issues with others - we need more openness in the health & MH care workforces. Thank you for using your voice to help break down stigma. I wonder if a peer anti-stigma network might be an idea?

Really??? That is shocking and very disappointing indeed The News Agents BBC News (UK) Mind Dr Sarah Hughes Rethink Mental Illness

Very sad & shocked to hear this news. Gregor was an exceptional advocate for better mental health for all. His passion drove him, which we all saw when we worked together. This is a big loss, but he leaves a big public mental health legacy. Deep condolences to Nigel Henderson 🟢🟪💛 & family.

NHS 111 offers new mental health service This looks like major progress for adults and children in crisis, as long as referrals after the calls end don’t lead to long waits. bbc.com/news/articles/…

It is so moving to see this openness about living with cancer from the Princess of Wales ⁦The Prince and Princess of Wales⁩. I feel a sense of solidarity with those of us with cancer learning to live, love & appreciate each day - a delicate psychological balance bbc.com/news/articles/…

Today is #WorldSuicidePreventionDay - please spend two minutes watching this incredible video from Norwich City FC to help spread the message that #YouAreNotAlone

Good luck to everyone hosting #timetotalkday events today across the UK. Open conversations about mental health changes & saves lives. MH stigma has not disappeared for everyone - far from it. Every chat in person or online matters. This is the 11th year and still trending!

Loving this from Macmillan Cancer Support. Good to see cancer charities focused on mental health - it was very tough for me, my wife & family when I was diagnosed with sarcoma & told it was terminal. Every conversation matters - and we need to talk today and every day #TimeToTalkDay

Happy TTTD - Time to Talk Day … ⁦Mind⁩ ⁦Rethink Mental Illness⁩ ⁦Co-op⁩ … All about finding your comfort zone where you feel fine about talking over a few issues … my comfort zone is my sofa! #timetotalk and thanks to the charities that keep fighting on this

You are an inspiration Jess. Too much shame and stigma in the MH and rest of heath professions

New NHS guidance on suicide risk assessment published today. More personal & collaborative, no checklists. Driven by evidence & the experience of families, esp ⁦Philip Pirie⁩ & ⁦NCISH⁩ thetimes.com/article/fb942d…
