To my knowledge, amongst the people who saved my life, cared for me and taught me how to walk, were people from (or with backgrounds from) China, Jamaica, Brazil, Ireland, India, USA, Nigeria and Greece. (Possibly others from other countries too.)

As someone who is a patient and a consultant clinical psychologist, could I make this clear to MPs. The NUMBER ONE thing you can do for #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek week is to vote/lobby against #DisabilityBenefits cuts. Nothing is worse for mental health than poverty x dismissal.

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

Network Rail’s decision to spend nearly £8m building a footbridge that will be inaccessible to many disabled people has been labelled an “appalling contradiction” of the govt's commitment to improving the accessibility of the public transport system. disabilitynewsservice.com/network-rail-t…

Disabled claimants have self-harmed, killed themselves, starved to death, and ended up in hospital in response to a hostile welfare system. Most Tribunals are successful, this can take 18 months and are set in a court infront of a panel (legal/medical) >

Chris Young Sound like crisis centres. May alleviate pressure on EDs What they won’t do is: Safely triage undifferentiated patients who may have serious physical illness presenting as a MH issue Provide immediate necessary treatment Manage coexistent physical illness Address root causes

‘Corley said the minister’s behaviour – which she watched before the online connection was broken – was “really odd”. Really odd sums it up beautifully ❤️

That £420 will be doing a lot of heavy lifting for the disabled folk who’ll be losing, on average, £4500 a year through the pathways to poverty debacle
