My humble suggestion, not only NHS but NGOs, Civil society in U.K should also compliment efforts of RCPSYCH. Rich people of Indian, Bangladeshi, origin should also support your noble cause., including businesspersons and politicians. Thank you for hearing me.

Thanks @FemiMind & Peer support worker Abdirisak Hussein for inspiring @AstonMedicine students. From “scary” to “interesting”! Anonymous word clouds helped reveal shifting perceptions. What teaching tools do fellow educators find useful? Let’s share good practice! @subodhdave1

This is both wonderful and much needed. I think this will be a unique opportunity for anyone to join in the spirit of reflection, community, and inclusion — to learn and connect.

Art therapy offers a gentle, universal language for healing. This week, I worked with children of enforced disappearances in Dhaka — their strength and stories reminded me how vital safe spaces are. #EnforcedDisappearance @UNHumanRights @UnitedGMH @DrNandiniC @raj_psyc @BBPAUK
