When all the others were away at Mass
I was all hers as we peeled potatoes.
They broke the silence, let fall one by one
Like solder weeping off the soldering iron:
Cold comforts set between us, things to share
Gleaming in a bucket of clean water.

Xmas can be a gorgeous & magical time for some. Others don’t celebrate it & for some (it can be both &) it can be triggering, lonely, unsafe, & dysregulating-full of memory time holes, chains of pain, tricky family dynamics, loss, & more. Sending❤️& all else you need over this🕰

Instead of making it easier for students to become psychologists, we are charging up to 15k per year for them to study.
As a result, waiting lists for mental health are enormous and people from working-class communities are priced out.
The government must do better!

It is vital that government understands that not all family carers recieve Carers Allowance or Benefit. Hundreds of thousands of family carers combine work and care. Family carers are a diverse group.

Today I raised the issue of the vaccine rollout for family carers. Carers who work for the HSE & private providers are in category 2. Family carers are not seen as a distinct cohort by this Government & yet they are with the Flu Vaccine. They cannot be forgotten. @CarersIreland

Carers are unpaid frontline care workers says our CEO @Patmcloughlin10 now on @drivetimerte They require the #CovidVaccine Many will not be considered by age in the early categories as they are often younger, unlike what @DonnellyStephen said today. #carers

Great news. The Gov know that #FamilyCarers exist (even if we haven’t been prioritized for vaccines) and they’re prepared to review how they deal with the 20 billion euro resource which we represent. @DonnellyStephen @InclusionIre @CarersIreland @alzheimersocirl @HomeInsteadIrl – at Fingal, Ireland

"Caring shouldn't be counted in terms of hours" : A powerful message from a carer at #CarersParliament yesterday. If you're an unpaid carer, you're caring 24/7! You may not be 'physically' caring all those hours, but you *never* switch off from your caring role. #CarersRightsDay
