After three years, I've officially left the prison service 😱 I'd recommend working in prison to any OT. It's rewarding, fascinating and never boring! If the prison service is ever going to be a system for rehabilitation (as it should be) it needs more OT's. #occupationaltherapy

She stresses the benefits of teaching emotional regulation early, which provides children with the tools to help them to regulate feelings when they're older.

My wonderful friend Vicki has made a video about building a "calm down corner" for toddlers to support with emotional regulation. Lovely sensory approaches and recommendations to help kids learn to identify and regulate big feelings. Bask in her wisdom! youtu.be/N35U69wi8g8?si…

Pigs in farms and slaughterhouses don’t need words to express fear and suffering. Their screams, thrashing, and desperate attempts to escape say everything. And when they realise there is no escape, many of them go into a state of despair and deep depression. Fear and suffering aren't unique to humans, they're universal. And we have the power to stop causing it for animals.

Humans and animals aren't the same, this is a fact. But animals they feel pain, fear, and joy like us? Science says yes, and deep down, we know it too. If we can choose to live without farming, violating and killing animals who feel pain, fear and joy, isn’t that worth trying?

What a lot of the people in the replies fail to comprehend is that the misogyny in medicine is deep rooted and is not an issue solely coming from male drs; this is an issue within medicine itself. This needs to be raised and is not just moaning or trying to cause ‘division’

Far too many prisoners continue to be released homeless. Our report on Hull, published earlier this week, found 40% of men had been released homeless under the ECSL scheme: HMP Hull – HM Inspectorate of Prisons (justiceinspectorates.gov.uk)

Delivered the second session of our 'Professional boundaries' training with my fab RMN colleague Emily Cumberbatch today, opening up a conversation about establishing and maintaining boundaries with patients. It went well! (This is the "Now do a silly one" pose) 💙💚

Carol Hunt Hannah Hunt Louise Hunt RIP Say their names I can not imagine John Hunts pain. I send every condolence for his senseless loss. I know the killers name. I had to scroll quite a while to see the names of the women murdered rather than their relationship to men.

Just to clarify, Farage has stated he wants an insurance-based healthcare run by the “marketplace” This is the U.S. system European social insurance health systems are run by not-for-profit government regulated companies not the “marketplace” He is arguing for a U.S. system

'As Frodo collapsed, exhausted by the weight of the Ring, Samwise slowed to comfort him. "Mr. Frodo," he said, "everyone gets anxious sometimes. It's really good to talk about your feelings." Suddenly, Frodo leapt with joyful courage. He knew now he was worried over nothing.'

I went to a "specialist" personality disorder unit and met a woman taking clozapine. "Has anyone ever mentioned it's against NICE guidelines for you to be taking this long term?" "Everyone here is on it"

"Sunak also warned about the “the risk of over-medicalising the everyday challenges and worries of life” But perhaps the challenges of everyday life have ramped up. Perhaps the absence of housing, financial security and comfort exacerbate worries. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

There are some vile responses to this, bitter old windbags saying how they had to ‘suck it up’ and these girls should too. Girls and women nowadays are not less resilient / more sensitive. We are just less ashamed of talking about periods and that’s absolutely how it should be
