As part of my clinical psychology doctorate, I am conducting research which explores longer-ago baby loss. If you know anybody who is over 65 and previously gave birth to a stillborn baby, please share this with them and ask them to get in touch if they would like to hear more!

Today, @NHSEngland announced 10 days paid leave for employees who have experienced a #Miscarriage We welcome this news & hope that more employers will follow their lead providing paid leave and support for their employees. Read our response ➡️ sands.org.uk/NHS-miscarriag… #BabyLoss

Some of us were campaigning against this script a few years back. It's back with a vengeance. Please call it out: - work is not a therapy or cure - bad work makes mental health worse -many will never work - structure can be great so re-open day centres - DWP pressure is deadly

It was hoped that this publication could go on to break such stereotypes, encourage other males who are struggling to seek help, and support professionals to ensure their services are fit for purpose, for all genders. [3/3]

Eating disorders affect over 1 million people living in the UK today, 1/4 of which are said to occur in males. However, due to stereotypes that they exist only in females, incidence rates may be much higher as males are prevented from seeking the help they need to recover. [2/3]

It has been two years since my paper on eating disorders in males was published! A lot of hard work went into this publication and it was a pleasure to be able to work with Ben to tell his story. [1/3] onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…
