Fascinating talk "Remaking Big Tobacco’s Big Lies: Cannabis Commercialization in the United States" from Assistant Professor Kevin A. Sabet, Fellow, Yale University and President, US Foundation for Drug Policy Solutions at @KingsIoPPN yesterday.

An amazing trip to Orlando, Florida to attend the APNA 37th Annual Conference where my poster presentation won Second Place in the Research category. A great time with the Mental Health team outside of the conference also as we had time to explore the parks!

Thrilled to have my first paper published in Frontiers in Psychiatry, special thanks to my FOSTREN colleagues and co-authors! You can read our paper here: frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

An enjoyable 3 days at the COST Action FOSTREN/EViPRG scientific meeting at MMU, networking with international colleagues and presenting recent work on reducing restrictive practices for institutionalised people with learning disabilities and mental health co-morbidities

Lucky to be part of such a wonderful team that surprises me with flowers! 💐 We also sadly said goodbye (for now) to our visiting Danish colleague Camilla and are looking forward to seeing her again in September!

Thought provoking conversations around mental health at the @MMUimproveACT community event this #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek all over great food and music!

A productive and insightful week attending the Mental Health Cluster research writing retreat. A great opportunity to discuss future collaborations and network with colleagues in the beautiful surroundings of the Yorkshire countryside! #mentalhealth #research

I wrote a short blog for @VAMHN discussing how I used their ECR bursary to attend the Tackling Violence Against Women and Girls Conference 2023 vamhn.co.uk/blog #igppVAWAG #domesticviolence

Today I'm attending the Tackling Violence Against Women and Girls Conference 2023 thanks to the ECR bursary from @VAMHN. In the UK, 1 in 4 women will experience domestic abuse and this needs to change. @IGPP_ #igppVAWAG

Bin off Blue Monday and celebrate ✨#BrewMonday✨ with us today instead! ☕ Blue Monday is just a made up marketing gimmick. Retweet to help us reject the unhelpful mental health stereotypes it perpetuates 🙅‍♀️

#BlueMonday isn’t real, but depression is, and it doesn’t care what day it is. We’re here for you no matter the day 💙

This week we sadly said goodbye to @Laneycraig as she goes on maternity leave. We miss you already but can’t wait to meet the little one! 😀

Today our research launch: improving practice & care pathways for people with LD and/or autism took place with great talks around the HOPE(S) & LD Models of Care projects as well as from people with lived experience. @JoyDuxbury @AlinaHaines @Laneycraig @KatieGoodall11

Last week I presented at my first international conference! It was a great experience to talk at the 12th European Congress on Violence in Clinical Psychiatry in Rotterdam and highlight the value of involving carers to reduce restrictive practices. #mentalhealth #research
