If you have experience or knowledge of any therapeutic resources for #PsychologicalSupport, #Anxiety #Depression, adapted to facilitate supporting people living with #Aphasia, it would be great to hear about them. Thanks.

@psychmag Studied BSc for personal interest not career. Later had the opportunity to pursue psych role & completed a master's, clear on limits of work roles after MSc qual. Info on career paths has improved, but needs wider dissemination even before undergrad level study.

If you studied Psychology at university, did you give much thought to what comes after when you made that choice: eg the need for professional postgraduate training, the availability of jobs, the competitiveness? Could courses do more to reflect the realities / prepare graduates?

Thought provoking presentations today at #HFCONF22, neuroscience and consciousness by @baroness_susan, trauma in TBI by @dr_ppradhan and the challenges of different stakeholder perspectives of what rehab means @dr_f_gracey

#PipAppeal 298 days after DWP denied my sister's PIP claim, decision overturned by the 1st tier tribunal. Satisfied? Yes, but hard to celebrate the win when this has shadowed us both for almost a year. The process is badly in need of an overhaul.

Do you have a visible difference as a result of your #lupus and live in UK? If so @Fabio_of_CAR at @CAR_UWE would love your help by taking a 20-min online research survey, exploring how much looks affect the way we live- to inform psychological support tinyurl.com/looks-and-life

Six months after initial PIP decision, three months since PIP appeal evidence submitted, yet still @CEOofHMCTS cannot provide an appeal date. #HMCTS #PIP #DisabilityPoverty #NotFitForPurpose

#PipAppeal #TrackYourAppeal service still says you'll get an update by 15 Aug and one week on still no update. @CEOofHMCTS @HMCTSgovuk adding to stress of an already vulnerable population.
