I was pleased to have the chance to share the work of @gleworld.bsky.social with New Zealand’s Minster of #mentalhealth Hon. Matt Doocey today.

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our friend and colleague Erin Geaney We mourn the loss of someone we cared about deeply, who always went out of her way to help others Our thoughts are with Erin's husband, children and wider family 🤍

This highlights once again the inescapable connection between #mentalhealth and #housing and the damage done by the lack of access both for clients and providers. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Returning from a few days away, hearing the #NHS planning guidance abandons a number of key areas that will stall, denude or plain stop progress in #mentalhealth #improvement, #prevention and #parity. Demoralising that the progress made in last 25 years is now at risk.

@theguardian.com reporting on study showing continued rise in #child #mentalhealth admissions over the last 10 years. We need to focus on both the capacity and response but we should also ask what’s driving and causing this rise and how to address it. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Heading back to #schiphol after a good couple of days in #utrecht and #amersfoort with our @gleworld.bsky.social partners at #ggznederlandse

Lovely to be back in #utrecht for my first work trip of 2025. Looking forward to meetings with my #dutch #mentalhealth colleagues tomorrow.

I’ve mixed feelings about the announcement of the commission on #socialcare Louise Casey is undoubtedly the right person to lead it, but another three years to wait for a sector struggling to survive. I guess hopefulness is my overriding sense. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

In an attempt to hold on to the last vestiges of Christmas, a pint of #Yuletide from @adnamssouthwold.bsky.social Today I was delighted to see that the one and only @solebear-adnams.bsky.social is following me. The man is a brewing genius!

As we mourn the passing of #presidentjimmycarter it is worth reminding ourselves of his and his wife Rosalyn’s contribution to #mentalhealth which was hugely significant and continues through the work of @cartercenter.bsky.social

It is profoundly disturbing that #pronerestraint continues to be used in the #mentalhealth system, despite plans to stop it. I fail to understand how we find ourselves here again making the argument for its cessation. www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

We are relieved that Health Secretary Wes Streeting has confirmed the continuation of the Mental Health Investment Standard (MHIS) today. The MHIS ensures that local mental health services in England receive essential, protected funding so that millions of people access support. #MentalHealth #News

@wesstreetingmp.bsky.social has pledged to keep the #mentalhealth #investment standard” which protects spending on mental healthcare, but has revealed 2025-26 planning rules will not be confirmed until next year. This welcome news and in part due to #VSCE leaders campaigning @assocmhp.bsky.social

Fascinating listening to Gwen Adshead giving this years #reithlectures. A thoughtful and studied analysis of four key questions, someone is respect hugely for her work, particularly in challenging perceptions about #violence and #mentalillness. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand...

I’m proud to serve as the Chair of @assocmhp.bsky.social If you’re part of the #mentalhealth #VCSE sector please join and follow this great organisation.

Long wait for #NHS #mentalhealth has ‘stark consequences for #children’s life chances’. Sadly the headline is borne out everyday. www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

In #England reform of the #MentalHealthAct is a step closer to becoming law, as the Mental Health Bill has its Second Reading in the House of Lords today. www.gov.uk/government/n...

As chair of the Association of #MentalHealth Providers, I am really aware of the key role of #VCSE organisations. They need the govt to listen and work with them to ensure they can continue to rocket viral support to over 8 million people. www.thirdsector.co.uk/government-w...

Heading to #SAMHSA for meeting with #leadership team there and will be covering a range of issues relating to #mentalhealth in the United States including what the future might hold post January

Work travel to the US means I am not able to be at the memorial service for #GregorHenderson today. Although I can’t be there in person, I reflect on not only his contribution to #mentalhealth but his friendship and support. He is missed.

ICYMI #Mind launched its #BigMentalHealthReport last week, a really useful resource. www.mind.org.uk/about-us/our... #MentalHealth
