The MHLEPQ is calling for the elimination of seclusion and restraint in the Queensland mental health system. Seclusion and restraint is both a failure of care and limiting basic human rights of consumers.

I just left the District Court of NSW where @NSWAmbulance service has been criminally convicted of a charge under Sec 33 WHS Act in relation to the suicide of my Uncle, paramedic Tony Jenkins. It will be 5 years this Sunday since he died. Paramedics deserve better @SafeWork_NSW

I think in the helping professions generally - it's scary but true. #elevatetheconvo
In my experience some of the worst work places are in healthcare and mental healthcare, anyone else have this experience? #ElevateTheConvo #MentalHealth #WorkplaceWellbeing #WorkplaceSuicidePrevention #TherapistTwitter #MedTwitter #PsychTwitter #OpRussia #OpMentalHealth
