The 80-20 rule, which was popular some time ago, suggests that 80% of outcomes stem from 20% of efforts (inputs) in any given situation. Applied to collective community trauma, the aim is to identify and focus on the most effective strategies for healing. It's crucial to prioritize the most productive responses, especially in the wake of riots. In communities across the UK, people have organized to care for, protect, and unite their communities. It's high time to recognize and celebrate their efforts. Display their valour on national news and share their stories to uplift and honor them and their neighbours. Many of these individuals were the first responders, standing shoulder to shoulder with their frightened neighbors. They are numerous and invaluable. We need to support them and avoid solely relying on punitive measures aimed at violent minorities, as lifting communities up first supplemented by intelligent enforcement will yield far better results. While enforcement and consequences are important, the emphasis should be on investing in these communities and those who promote peace and solidarity. Taking money away from the many and the strong to use to punish the few who have done wrong is misguided. Start with what's strong to address what’s wrong, and make what’s strong even strong. Get the equity to these neighbourhoods. There may be ideas to draw on in great examples like Blueprint for Peace in Milwaukee. milwaukeenns.org/2018/09/10/…

“We all want to be loved, right?”. This last answer of Gareth Southgate’s @England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 press conference 🇳🇱 shows how the criticism of him earlier in the tournament hurt him personally. So happy he/they have managed to turn it around. He’s a great leader.

🗣️Free Suicide Prevention Resources We have developed 4 modules, the first one is aimed at anyone with an interest in understanding suicide, the other three modules go into more depth into the psychology of understanding and preventing suicide #Science2PreventSuicide @darkdancer84

The term “levelling up” is being scrapped. But the health inequalities it should have helped address, based on where people live, persist. Including in #suicideprevention, where major geographical differences are found. 1/9 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0ve…

A couple of truths universally acknowledged about suicide. If you impoverish people, their risk increases. Health problems/disability is a key risk factor (ONS study below, I was co-author). academic.oup.com/eurpub/arti…
