How lovely! #COHENSBOX

Spring Road Co-op helping the community. #coop #ItsWhatWeDo #beyourselfalways

@PeterBatt3 @coopuk Great words! However, this should be addressed every day. Not just when it’s dictated that it’s “mental health” day. 🙌🏻❤️

Our partnership at the @coopuk with MIND has never been more important as we can all do one thing to help enable every single person to have the opportunity for support with 1 in 4 experiencing a mental health problem of some kind every year #WorldMentalHealthDay #DoOneThing

@coopuk It’s the most amazing experience - I just hope that lots of people apply - even though it may seem daunting. I hope my application has success also - haha! I’d love to be festival crew again. 🙌🏻❤️

@TraciLAHull Thanks Traci, it's an exciting time for everyone with many opportunities to meet new people and help out not to mention have loads of fun haha ^lav

@BeardedTrev @Wine_Cuentista And you support and inspire others @BeardedTrev - I’m thankful that you’re here - and that you have enjoyment in your life now. You’re a man that exudes everything that you have - strength, calm and experience. ❤️🙌🏻

@Wine_Cuentista Congratulations! I can totally relate. 6 years ago I hit reset. Walked away from a marriage, a job and a country I’d known for 20 years. I’m sat here drinking coffee in the garden now watching my 2 year old play in the garden thankful I had the bravery to jump into the unknown

10 years ago today, I boarded a plane to Barcelona with a one-way ticket, my possessions in a rucksack and less than €100 in my pocket. I was 22 years old and ready for an adventure; life wasn´t working out in the UK; I can only now put into words what I was feeling then.

@Kevbrown0987 @coopuk @matthewdawe17 @coopukcolleague Understanding that mental health is as important as physical health matters! ❤️🙌🏻

@Biblioate @DrJessTaylor Agreed. A lack of vitamin B12 can also be a cause of depression and anxiety. It can also mimic MS amongst other mistaken diagnoses.

@DrJessTaylor @TraciLAHull There also needs to be a proper move to rule out physical issues before a mental health "diagnosis" is applied. Thousands of thyroid patients suffer each year after being misdiagnosed with anxiety/depression when a simple blood test to check their TSH level should have been done

Here’s a wild idea: Stop telling people they have brain chemical imbalances unless you can prove it with a test. Stop medicating people with drugs that claim to ‘rebalance’ brain chemistry that you haven’t even attempted to test or monitor. Stop pseudoscience.

@DrJessTaylor @Biblioate I do understand where you are coming from. However, without being able to perform tests that don’t exist, how do you suggest people can be helped in the meantime?

@TraciLAHull @Biblioate No, we can use trauma informed approaches and demand better evidence bases. There are no tests because the entire theory is flawed. How can anyone claim a brain chemistry imbalance if there is no valid test?

@DrJessTaylor @Biblioate So, what is the answer? Can you just let people suffer endlessly?

@Biblioate @TraciLAHull They can’t - that’s the point

@CultOfIntegrity @HildegardP @DrJessTaylor I’d have to read the book to give an opinion on this.

@HildegardP @CultOfIntegrity @DrJessTaylor I was never suggesting that reading body language was a qualification to diagnosis anyone. My point was that people with relevant academic training need more than what you can get from a text book.

@TraciLAHull @CultOfIntegrity @DrJessTaylor Unfortunately we both know that a RMN who's done a one-academic year course can be let loose alone to diagnose patients & determine their treatment (if any). Reading body language is no substitute for adequate training.

@HildegardP @CultOfIntegrity @DrJessTaylor Whilst I somewhat agree here, I’d argue that there are actually people out there that can read and understand people by talking with them, reading body language etc etc. The questionnaire part of any evaluation is completely lacking in any personal level of assessment.

@CultOfIntegrity @DrJessTaylor Problem in the UK is that the ppl doing psych assessments are often, to put it kindly, very lightly-trained, place too much faith in the questionnaires & lack sufficient grounding in eg; developmental psych, to ask the necessary further questions.

@BeardedTrev @coopuk Trev - what is “leadershift”?

Spending my morning off investing in myself with some #leadershift time and a familiar picture pops up. I’ve been fascinated by Ikigai (Japanese meaning of life)for a few years now as I look for my true purpose and thrilled it’s now part of our @coopuk learning. #itswhatwedo
