Great piece in today's The Times and The Sunday Times from #MHChamp Dr Sian Williams (also of CNWL NHS FT #CAST team) - she retrained AND talks about it; 'my focus is an NHS role .. support to front line staff .. training ..services to understand what trauma looks like..'

Everything seems chaotic, noisy and uncertain.
Hope you find a still, quiet piece of calm in the next few days.
If only for a moment.

🎧 You can listen to the extended version of Dr Sian Williams and Samantha Renke's conversation on the latest episode of our podcast, Mind Matters with Dr Sian.

.Chris Mason tells #Wato It’s just three and a half months since last #PM resigns.
Another PM likely to
emerge within the coming days.
But who’ll step forward and what will their legitimacy be?
And how much clamour/appetite is there for a general election?

He’s faster but I’ll always be his older sister!

No pressure, then.

And thank you The Royal Marsden Cancer CharityNHS.
For looking after two key men in my life - my Dad and my friend Bill Turnbull - and for your expertise and compassion towards all those who are loved ❤️

Agreed. Thought the Amol Rajan question about whether to ask about #suicide was spot on. Open conversations about suicide do NOT make it more likely.
See the work of Rory O'Connor
