Pain is inevitable. But when we resist, judge, or try to control it—we add a second layer of suffering. That’s the trap of struggle.

Misuse of “mental capacity” in responding to suicidal people is a serious problem in frontline practice.
Poorly defined & understood, not part of the MH Act, but at times the basis of denying care in a crisis.
Referenced in the national #suicideprevention strategy.
A fascinating and challenging session (and conference as a whole), and very good to see that the strategy and the discussion included consideration of the misuse of capacity: mentalcapacitylawandpolicy.o…

It’s important not to make new suicide methods better known, to tackle them under the radar. Even if it looks like nothing is being done.
It’s an area of top priority for the national #SuicidePrevention strategy.
Delivering a workshop asking ‘what makes it more likely for staff to abuse patients’ & ‘can psychological interventions help prevent such disturbing events?’ An emotional but valuable workshop naming the elephant in the room @GMMH_NHS @MINTUKIreland

Bolton Early Detection and Intervention Service (EDIT) will be advertising for an Assistant Psychologist role in a lovely welcoming team with good support and supervision. These posts often have a short advert window due to the volume of applications, so I wanted to flag it here.

Domestic violence is a key risk for suicide in women.
Including female MH patients, in whom it contributes to 1 in 5 suicides, 100 deaths/yr.

Join us for the @rcpsychHoPSIG webinar where we will commemorate the centenary of the birth of Basaglia, whose ideas about ‘institutions’ in mental health became influential in Italy, Europe, and South America in the 1970s yet were equally neglected in the English-speaking world.

Making a change to a #Trieste approach involves a huge amount of clinical engagement and buy in. We can have as much lived experience involvement and third sector input but without tackling the hierarchy and power differential we can't make the changes needed
