The audio version of my book Your One Wild And Precious Life, an account of how we grow and develop right across the life course, is now available on Amazon and on Audible. As you head into Christmas and a new year it might keep things in perspective - and keep you going

Back from a glorious holiday in Cadiz - first time back since 2019. The place had changed a little bar a few shops and restaurants have closed permanently. Thought often about how the experience of the last two years have changed us - and how subtle but real these changes are.

We don't have enough staff to plug the widening gap in student #mentalhealth services. We need to start increasing training numbers to even begin addressing the problem in five years' time, let alone now. Well done @psychpolis for continuing to advocate.
Mark Smyth@psychpolis

“What we have failed to address thus far, despite repeated direct advocacy to Government,is how we plan for increasing the number of training places and associated funding to the three professional training programmes to meet current and future demands” irishtimes.com/news/education…

If your list of personal goals contains higher proportion of 'approach' rather than 'avoidance' goals, if your life is characterised by a strong sense of positive purpose, you are more likely to experience success in life and to enjoy a high level of personal wellbeing. Be brave.

#Climatechange is urgent. But we are primed by evolution to seek status because that is what ensured our survival when we lived in small groups. So the changes we need - live small, consume less, stay local - are hard for us. The problem we need to solve is a psychological one.

🧐What does today’s IPCC report tell us? Greenhouse gas emissions are still rising at an alarming pace and much warming is caused by overconsumption by global elites. We need to make deep emissions cuts NOW to be within the Paris Agreement 1.5°c goal. #IPCC #ClimateReport

Mental health problems in the prison population are so very high and forensic psychiatry services are woefully under-resourced. How can we expect rehabilitation when treatment in prison is pretty much non existent? It needs to be addressed. #mentalhealth

As a family develop the capacity for ‘serious play’ in your children: ➡️Play together as a family ➡️Be curious and encourage open mindedness ➡️Develop skills and persistence This is flow - vital engagement - the experience of full, deep enjoyable involvement in what you do.

I’d like to pay tribute today to my best friend and campaign manager Anne Connolly. She put her heart and soul into the campaign - keeping us going with her unflagging good spirits, energy and enthusiasm. Thank you, Anne. You are a force of nature.🌞
