A clinical trial has shown Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) improves quality of life for people with #MND #ALS, when used alongside existing care. @mndassoc will help support psychologists to deliver ACT to people with MND. Read more: mndassociation.org/media/latest-n…

So proud to be able to call @NickHartley a friend & delighted for Byker that they have made such a great choice. I'd love to see more psychologists be active in politics and their communities.

I want to say something to the people with mental health conditions that have got in touch with me worried / panicked about the govt news on possible benefits changes... NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. - The govt has put out a green paper. That is an EARLY STAGE consultation document. After that may come a white paper. - These things are not quick, if they happen, and this is a general election year - so whether it will happen at a question. This type of debate is given attention to create political news and put clear water between parties in an election year. Sadly doing that in the area of mental health, can have a real human impact, terrifying people about changes that may never happen So if you're worried about it, while I know its easy to say and hard to do, forget it - for now it is still political hot air.

There is no such thing as “a sick note culture.” There is a record high NHS waiting list, crippling housing costs, widespread food poverty, stagnant wages and inadequate benefit rates, a broken social care system, dire mental health services, and closed Sure Start centres.
