@OTRhiannonS Very well deserved! Xx

A powerful new visual of the famous Desmond Tutu quote, created by @Juliet_Young1: ‘We need to stop just pulling people out of the river. Some of us need to go upstream and find out why they are falling in’.

Hello! If you are a psychiatrist in the UK who does not think children should be diagnosed with a personality disorder - can you help me with something? DMs are open. Please share widely 🙂

@Keirwales This is so sad. I think it's important that she said in the video "I'm not a person that wants to die".

I've got hugely mixed feelings about this. I hate the idea that because someone has a mental health diagnosis they can never make a decision like this, but to feel every option has been exhausted by 28? And have staff agree with you? Heartbreakingly sad. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

Today is @WorldBipolarDay (WBD), celebrated annually to mark Vincent Van Gogh's birthday - posthumously diagnosed with #bipolardisorder. The aim of WBD is to eliminate social stigmas. Learn more about the day and the joint efforts to launch it: tinyurl.com/4m3f3y6x

After a long few weeks, things like this remind you of why this job is so important. The people I work with are amazing.

@katebinnington @Girl_Interrupt_ It was a great talk, I'm really glad I made it. I'm really inspired by you both coming back together after having been able to reflect on your own meaning with honesty! ❤️

excited to have done this today thanks @Girl_Interrupt_ for inviting me to co-present with you

Fantastic talk by @ClarabellaOT at @TheOTShow. So pleased I caught it!

@HoppyPelican 🤦‍♀️

Imagine just telling someone with lived experience that their perspective and the perspective of everyone they’ve ever worked with professionally is wrong… embarrassing tbh 🙅‍♀️

x.com/NHS_ELFT/statu… I feel so lucky and proud to be part of this organisation, making steps towards becoming an anti-racist organisation. @RobinDiAngelo was an incredible speaker and I feel so grateful to have been a part of this event.

@KwakuOT I look forward to watching it! Thanks for the talk last night, it inspired me and reminded me why I'm so passionate about ot! X

Great Show On ITV Now About Engaging A Group Of Men In Prison Using Rugby!

This is the second adaptation of the Power Threat Meaning Framework I've drawn. I hope it brings some clarity to an interesting but complex framework developed by @ClinpsychLucy and Mary Boyle as an alternative to the diagnostic model. #powerthreatmeaningframework #ptmf

@LizzieNMP @PositiveEast @HTTHopeGarden This looks great, is there another one coming up at all? I'd love to attend.

A huge thank you to @PositiveEast for coming to do #HIV Awareness training with us at #Newham Centre for Mental Health. Busting myths and equipping our staff to provide the best care possible. U=U #Undetectable = #Untransmissable #FairTreatmentForAll #HIVChampions

Such an important conversation. beamconsultancy.co.uk/the-blog/2023/…

@Gwyneth_OT I agree, I have had a very negative experience of OH in the past - very judgemental due to my MH diagnosis.

I also feel more intellectual disability nurses and Occupational therapists should work in occupational health. I know a lot of people who have had really poor experiences engaging with OH because the team members don’t have a good knowledge base around their conditions.
