We are a «what will happen next? »country. Every #emergency reverts our brain& body into shutdown mode in attempt to find safety. With a chronic hyperactivation of our nervoussystem,we resume functioning the next day,but don’t let this #traumaresponse fool you to think we are ok

What a day! Such an inspiration to work with young people from Speak Out Group from Step by Step Lodgings and co-create a policy brief involving policy and practice recommendations about young people in care moving towards independence. Well done @beckywardtweets @CHRPHomeless

When young people leave care, they often feel alone and on the cliff edge. Can we change things for the better? We think so - and these young people have some good ideas of how! Come and listen to them. eventbrite.co.uk/e/moving-to… #careleavers @JenTarabay

Check Alice’s blog sharing her experience doing her clinical psych placement in homelessness! “This has involved getting rid of my pad and pen… Sometimes just being you is the most important thing, and the therapy techniques are just added extras.” chrphomeless.co.uk/2024/06/0…

Fantastic day focusing our attention to the policy which shapes homelessness at a critical political time. In the Unheard Voices stream we hoped to bring attention to the lack of access to menstrual healthcare for people experiencing homelessness. #CHRPConference2024

"For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong" - HL Mencken @nick_maguire5 speaks about the dangers of 'panacea thinking' - oversimplifying difficult problems. #CHRPConference2024

Charlie Wood and Jamie Glasspool from @OutcomeHome highlight the impact policy can have on the ground - e.g. shortfalls in housing benefit/universal credit --> service arrears/potential eviction; revolving door between prison release and homelessness #CHRPConference2024

Crucially important conversations about unhelpfulness of categorical approach - language matters. "Dual diagnosis" inherently implies 2 discrete problems, 2 services, separate commissioning etc. Need to stop medicalising distress linked to adversity/poverty #CHRPConference2024

Thank you so much for a brilliant day @CHRPHomeless! I am buzzing. Takeaway message? “Systems may be complex but being compassionate isn’t” (Alex Bax)
Happening now! Rick opening the morning plenary and Alex sharing with us about the systemic and individual factors that drive and maintain homelessness … and bring complexity to homelessness. #CHRPConference2024 @Rickviews @HomelessLink @nick_maguire5 @PathwayUK
