Over the moon to talk about the wonderful young person centred organisation I work for @MarketPlaceLds in the new book People not Pathology @pccsbooks Thank you @PeteSanders51 for the opportunity, I’m sorry your not here to see it come to fruition.

I keep thinking how 3 little girls were killed & more were hurt & traumatised, & instead of talking about their precious lives, we are being forced to focus on violent entitled white men burning cars & towns, who don’t give a shit about women’s & girls’ safety.

Even though this sad event happened it was absolutely fantastic to be out with the great community in Leeds ! Leeds is such a beautiful diverse city and its honestly a shame we had to have people like Jordan plain ruin something peaceful .

Why does “giving your children what you’ve never” had focus around material possessions? If you want to give a child what you never had: learn emotional regulation. It will change the trajectory of their life.

“I understand that a strong woman standing up to you is met with such reticence,” replies Jess Phillips to a group of men intimidating after her win. Jess then tells of how a young woman delivering leaflets yesterday was filmed and screamed at by an older man, who then slashed her tyres. Huge respect to Jess.

Please vote.

@MarketPlaceLds an amazing celebration of all the hard work we do with Children and Young people, definitely not the end we will reform and come back stronger! Please donate to our crowdfunding if you can ! Young people deserve long term support in Leeds.

My letter published in The Guardian today👇: “By misrepresenting socially caused distress as a medical issue, we run the risk of wrongly individualising, pathologising & depoliticising that distress, & so exonerating social conditions from responsibility.”theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

Mental health nurse, "You get one client and you end up with the whole family.. You find out there are housing issues, poverty, childcare" #BBCQT "Rishi Sunak's idea is insulting" "How can the Conservative government expect one person to be trained to sick sign notes - you obviously don't understand what mental health is - you obviously don't understand what is going on"

Trigger warning - sexual assault from staff Why am I hearing about both a psychiatrist and a psychologist only getting 12 months suspensions for having sex with a patient?

We’re extremely disappointed with Sunak’s harmful and inaccurate comments on mental health and work. Read our response to Sunak’s call to end ‘sick note culture’ ➡️ orlo.uk/XBJLx

For the first time, we've shown that relational depth in a close relationship (outside of therapy) predicts personal wellbeing. That is, the more moments of in-depth connection, the better we feel. More evidence that relationships are key to wellbeing journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10.11…

@Lauren_Askins Likewise ! Until the next time ❤️

Angela, "I'm a therapist, I work in a school, so I know what I'm talking about. Rod, if you think mental health has nothing to do with poverty, can I suggest you live in poverty for six months and you a free session and we'll chat about your mental health" #BBCQT
