Frantically searching for the “please leave me alone” cup
ALT A collection of cups with topics written on them with a sign in front saying “pick a cup based on what you’d like to discuss most”

The language used surrounding grief is so important. Remarks can be made without thinking but can be so hurtful.
Here are some helpful grief Literacy hints.

Mums with children suffering from asthma say politics is 'playing games with lives' londonnewsonline.co.uk/mums-… couldn’t agree with headline more. All parents of children with asthma must sign petition for #EllasLaw : petition.parliament.uk/petit… to make sure it is enshrined in UK law

As we prepare for Y13 & Y11 results. It is important to pause & reflect on what these cohorts have endured, during KS3 & KS4, when knowing more & remembering more, matters. Their schooling certainly suffered, they didn’t experience normal times but will receive ‘normal’ results.

The number of young people undergoing treatment or waiting to start care in CAMHS reached 466,250 in May. The highest number on record. These young people could fill Wembley Stadium, five times over.
@RishiSunak, this is an emergency.

1 in 6 young people, aged 7-16, are facing a mental health problem.
These stats are the same as during the height of the pandemic. It’s not good enough.
This week, just like the others, we’re calling on the UK Government to invest in early support hubs.

🧵 Thread: We're deeply disappointed that the Government will not be producing a ten-year mental health and wellbeing plan, and that the promised white paper on health disparities will also no longer be delivered.

This @AddresPollution map shows % of UK exceeding 2021 @WHO PM2.5 #AirPollution limits.
Government is currently consulting on whether to limit PM2.5 to TWICE this amount. By 2040 😡.
Agree it's not good enough? Please tell them now 👉 bit.ly/m4ltargettool

If you've had enough of your town being turned into a sea of plastic shite, please sign both these petitions. Your voice on social media can fade away but petitions show Government that this is an issue that needs action!

You, in the supermarket, pretending to look at the onions, waiting for the person beside you who’s looking at the carrots to move. The person beside you, pretending to look at the carrots, waiting for you to stop looking at the onions. The endless British dance goes on.
I just filled out the government’s consultation on #AirPollution targets. Toxic air is damaging all of our health. We can’t delay. We need #CleanAirNow! #EnvironmentAct Make your voice heard below!

Just 1 week left to apply for Grants Programme Manager at Maudsley Charity.
Could you help build relationships with NHS staff across Lewisham, Southwark, Croydon and Lambeth? From a BAME background or have lived experience of mental illness? We especially want you to apply.

You might not be worried about getting COVID
You may do just fine if you do
Problem is you may not do so well when surprised by a car accident, heart attack or leukemia because hospitals are struggling
Epidemics are about communities and not individuals. We share resources
