Yet again, the UK government has failed to prioritise mental health. And broken its promise to thousands of people.
With the mental health bill not included in the #KingsSpeech, it’s now highly unlikely the Mental Health Act will be reformed before the next general election. 1/7
Today is the #KingsSpeech – the UK gov uses this speech to highlight its priorities for the next year. We’ve been urging @rishisunak to include the mental health bill - which would see reforms to the outdated Mental Health Act. We’ll be watching at 11am to see whether it is 👀

🚨We’re hiring again @TheBHF ❤️ - this time for an agile delivery manager! You’ll work with 2 great scrum teams (and with me 🤓). Scrum experience is preferred but willingness to learn is just as good.

Thinking of the folks at Spotify today who unsuccessfully argued against this font in 4 hour long zoom meetings until they finally gave up (I imagine)

Back in April, we launched a new package of support for students who had been most impacted by the pandemic.
We know that the struggles these students face have not gone away. That's why we're so excited to say that the following #StudentSpace services will be continuing 👇🧵

5,000 Afghani refugees by the end of the year and the government is already pathetically complaining about logistics.
Every year UK universities host over 500,000 students from across the world - all needing paperwork, visas and accommodation.

It’s #WorldMentalHealthDay tomorrow.
Talking about having a broken brain is hard if you’re terrified the person you’re telling won’t believe you.
Thinking about it like this helps me.

Been doing lots of user testing for the @StudentMindsOrg #StudentSpace website the last few weeks. Some patterns me, @elliebudd_ and @sebbaird have noticed about 🦠Covid🦠 Information design: [1/12 🧵]

I've just published a roundup of some of the many great live broadcasts I've seen from charities during lockdown. From quizzes to Q&As, @CoppaFeelPeople to @theCALMzone, there's loads of great examples to hopefully inspire and learn from link.medium.com/AjeonnPjb7

Reminder: Talking about mental health doesn't have to be awkward.
Tomorrow is #TimeToTalk Day, so whether it's a chat over tea, a text to a mate or a share on social, choose to talk about mental health.

It still blows my mind that the winning song & record of the year at this year's #GRAMMYs and winner of the #Hottest100 samples the manic beeping sound that the traffic lights make in Sydney.
