Mental health really is everyone’s buisiness - you don’t have to be a mental health practitioner to save a life.

There's a growing understanding of the importance of empathy (the ability to understand, share & respond to emotions/perspectives of others) for leaders. For every competency that helps a leader become more empathetic you can draw a line that connects it with a better way of delivering results. @hacking_hr has produced a leader's "playbook" for empathy. It sets out: - 9 strategies to build trust and a people-centric culture through empathy - 7 ways to improve the experience of people at work through empathy - 10 key actions for empathy-driven success in leadership - 8 competencies of the empathetic leader - key insights on the power of cultivating empathetic leadership at work linkedin.com/pulse/leaders-p….

Well said ! If a child is scared, lonely and shamed they will react in a primitive way - defence. They are our orchids - they need exquisite care and attention but watching them bloom is the most rewarding ❤️

One year ago today, I spent #WorldSuicidePreventionDay in a psychiatric ward after attempting to take my own life. One year on, I’m out of hospital & have started on my long path to recovery. Here is what I would have missed had my attempt succeeded 🧵:

#youngpeople can participate in this research...
We know how difficult it can be for many children and young people to express their feelings. We therefore want to create a different type of questionnaire that uses images and pictures rather than text. We need young people's help! Get involved: orlo.uk/NRUbH

Katie and other children are the reason Whole system transformation - with all the organisations that work with CYP and families not only collaborating but integrating. We need to identify and meet all infants/ children’s needs before the damage is done.
‘Fighting every step is so hard' Katie, 17, is autistic and has barely been to school since she was 13. She joined @BBCNuala to discuss her experience as a child navigating England’s Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) system, and how it has impacted her.

A word about humiliation, as it’s making headlines. Suicide is complex - people’s lives are complex. But there are features that many tragic deaths have in common. Humiliation, a sense of injustice, nowhere to turn. Highly destructive & dangerous. #suicideprevention.

This is such an important thread and so true. We alienate families by using procedural approaches. How different would it be if we took relational approaches - families are generally the experts on their children- we could learn a lot by listening to them.
A note on parenting courses and non-attendance. At the point the system(s) are aware of attendance difficulties/barriers, families have usually been trying to manage things behind closed doors for an extended period. Maybe it’s leading to conflict in the home.
