Just published with 💥 team from @recovery_mind and @COPe_support onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…... lovely to find such POSITIVE outcomes. Such a contrast from most #mentalhealth #coproduction research, which usually involve working with people left feeling hopeless and marginalised.

[1/2] #RoeVsWade's defeat is object lesson in why #research needs #coproduction, needs to foreground the #livedexperience of people most rarely heard. Many were speaking up on behalf of the unborn, but fewer were given voice to testify about being pregnant, alone and terrified...
[2/2] #RoeVsWade's defeat is also object lesson in why #research needs #empirical #evidence in addition to strong convictions and emotional appeal. Evidence shows that criminalising abortions does not prevent abortions; it drives them underground. Mothers as well as foetuses die.
Whenever recent paper @TheSocReview with @delythsedwards is tweeted, I get modest amount more traffic to my business site. Meanwhile @immtherapeutic (partner's business, listed on article bio as I do most management and admin) receives minor deluge of client enquiries... [1 of 2]
... from parents of children suddenly de-eligible for urgent #NHS #mentalhealth care. Each woman we interviewed disclosed having significant unmet MH needs 10-20yrs ago, yet access to services gets harder. We never charge anyone who can't pay, but that's not the point [2 of 2]

I am going to say this because the Prime Minister isn’t coming to the Commons to say it: I am sorry for anyone who couldn’t see or be with someone they loved, on the 20th May 2020. I am sorry if that was the day you lost or laid someone you loved to rest. I am so sorry.

Nothing is more upsetting than having to contend with money you simply do not have.
We are always told income or house size is not of importance….
If that’s the case then why do things like this get put in reports or letters? #cantwin – at Wigan, England

This is the story I’ve been fighting to publish for a year and 7 days - the story of a powerful man, an MP, a minister of state, who abused & raped his wife while in office… today, with incredible support from @tortoise, and @familoo as barrister, I won. tortoisemedia.com/2021/12/10…
