2012: TEWV NHS Foundation Trust wrote, approved & deployed the “Protocol for the reduction of harm associated with suicidal behaviour, deliberate self harm & its treatment (for people with BPD DX & related conditions)” as part of the operational framework (Langley & Price, 2022).

@DaleWhetter Amazing achievement, well done Dale. Is there a way this can be accessed for anyone who wants to read your thesis? #PTMFramework

It's done. It's finally done. I've submitted my #dclinpsy thesis. Beyond excited to reconnect with everything and everyone I've neglected to get this over the line.

People will be supported to withdraw from 'antidepressants'. It's important the help is translated into carefully managed tapering rather than abrupt discontinuation. Thank you to all our peers & professionals who have tirelessly campaigned for this ✊

Nobody should have to share their most horrific experiences with mental health staff to ensure they are treated with basic respect. If you can only display compassion towards people by delving into their trauma, you have a serious problem.

PSA on pathologising trauma 1. It’s possible to talk about trauma without resorting to mental illness, disease, disorder & symptom language. 2. Those medicalised frameworks tie us to oppressive, carceral systems rooted in ableism, racism, patriarchy, homophobia & class.

@OwnMyLifeCourse Brilliant news and a well deserved achievement. We recommend Own My Life Course for anyone working with women experiencing or who have survived domestic abuse.

We are excited to announce that the Own My Life course has been CPD accredited! This is really good news for anyone attending our facilitator training because it will count as 35 hours of accredited continued professional development. Hurrah! 🤩🙌🏾🥳

@UKDCP statement on the #PTFMFramework 'The DCP is concerned about some of the inaccurate claims made about the Framework & its authors on social media & elsewhere. Personal attacks & alarmist misrepresentations of which there have been quite a few, are unhelpful & unnecessary.'

'Mental health' is the capacity *for* (contained) pain & suffering — it is *not* the absence of pain & suffering. The latter is an impossible western fantasy, one which has led us down a path of collective alienation & despair.

@IndigoDaya @Nikolas_S_Rose @matthewrbroome Well said @IndigoDaya #PTMFramework is a much needed alternative to harmful medicalised approaches. The personal attacks on Lucy need to stop. People need to be able to make informed choices about what approach fits their experience.

@Nikolas_S_Rose @matthewrbroome There is no approach to human distress that works for everyone. But I do know that #PTMFramework has been lifesaving to me in making sense of my distress, whereas the biogenetic views of psychiatry literally almost killed me. And I know Lucy to be a steadfast, compassionate ally.

The so called 'power, threat and meaning' framework for understanding mental distress is deeply flawed in many respects. Yet one of the authors, Lucy Johnstone is threatening those who criticise this 'framework' with legal proceedings.
