Are you interested in learning about the Power Threat Meaning Framework (PTMF), and how it can provide more hopeful narratives to people experiencing emotional distress? 💭

1.9m people on waiting lists for mental health services in England alone…

A lot to unpack in Sunak’s “welfare” speech but one headline is PIP will be reviewed.

Sunak said it may be right to pay one-off costs for adaptations but stop ongoing payments. This would mark a major shift and break decades-old entitlement to help. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

Taken to the highest level & still nobody doing what they are paid & expected to do. The ongoing harms in plain sight is actually staggering!! Such devastation💔 We need to take notice; this total lack of accountability is a rights injustice for everybody needing mh services!

11 mths on, RQIA Department of Health STILL haven't acted on High Court direction to investigate failures by Northern Trust in Gareth Waterworth's care.

Leading to a preventable crisis, where he needs 24 hr support.

No accountabilty.

‘Treat people as human beings, not as pathologies’

Dr. James Gordon, Centre for Mind Body Medicine

A simple but profound #NewScript for Mental Health & healing from trauma.

Thanks so much to Denise & Sylvia Corrymeela & Ryan Starling Collective for nurturing this community.

“The actions of the PSNI… will degrade victims’ trust and confidence in coming forward to the police.”

Migrant victims, including victims of racist attacks, were routinely reported to the Home Office by the PSNI.

Who will hold the PSNI to account?

‘The one suffering you can avoid is that withdrawal from the suffering of others’

Such wise words from James Gordon, MD & needed more than ever now.

Community & Solidarity are everything.
