If you have experience or knowledge of any therapeutic resources for #PsychologicalSupport, #Anxiety #Depression, adapted to facilitate supporting people living with #Aphasia, it would be great to hear about them. Thanks.
Thought provoking presentations today at #HFCONF22, neuroscience and consciousness by @baroness_susan, trauma in TBI by @dr_ppradhan and the challenges of different stakeholder perspectives of what rehab means @dr_f_gracey

Thank you for running such a lovely session for us today @DeeptiPatel90!
Our clients really enjoyed sitting round to discuss the theme of autumn in our first Creative Writing Group.
Now they will be writing their own autumn inspired pieces - watch this space!

#PipAppeal 298 days after DWP denied my sister's PIP claim, decision overturned by the 1st tier tribunal. Satisfied? Yes, but hard to celebrate the win when this has shadowed us both for almost a year. The process is badly in need of an overhaul.

Do you have a visible difference as a result of your #lupus and live in UK? If so @Fabio_of_CAR at @CAR_UWE would love your help by taking a 20-min online research survey, exploring how much looks affect the way we live- to inform psychological support tinyurl.com/looks-and-life
Six months after initial PIP decision, three months since PIP appeal evidence submitted, yet still @CEOofHMCTS cannot provide an appeal date. #HMCTS #PIP #DisabilityPoverty #NotFitForPurpose
#PipAppeal #TrackYourAppeal service still says you'll get an update by 15 Aug and one week on still no update. @CEOofHMCTS @HMCTSgovuk adding to stress of an already vulnerable population.
#PipAppeal process not enhanced by Track your Appeal service stating feedback dates that are routinely missed and telephone agents seemingly unaware of the existence of the platform. @CEOofHMCTS @HMCTSgovuk
