Amazing to be working with young people across the UK, @StreetDoctors staff and volunteers to co-design and co-pilot a new training course on the #mentalhealth and #trauma-related impacts of #youth and #street violence 🤓🙌🏽
We're co-designing new mental health training content for young people, to give them skills to cope better with the mental health impacts of violence. Our young healthcare volunteers had a great time in a co-design session yesterday with the excellent psychotherapist @marc_boaz
Great to witness the insights, ideas and creativity of all of the young people and volunteers involved - with special thanks to @lucierussell12, Joanna V and @Bradley92960905 for supporting and facilitating co-design too 🧘🏻♂️🙌🏽

Last week we went with @marc_boaz to Liverpool for our first co-design session with young people affected by violence. Thank you @PosFuturesLiv for helping facilitate a brilliant session with insightful, intelligent and engaged young people #YouthEmpowerment #PartofTheSolution
Great @DHSCgovuk published Draft #MentalHealth Bill 2022 for pre-leg scrutiny with inclusion of core @WesselyS review recs - although where are the CYP orgs in acknowledging / responding to this - the draft side-steps important reforms required to enhance CYP rights & protections

We're pleased the #UKTraumaCouncil has contributed to the children's social care review by providing a better understanding of complex trauma. There are 9 principles, including its effects on child development & how to address the impact: uktraumacouncil.link/documen…
With reform of both #HumanRights and #MentalHealth legislation now in view in the #QueensSpeech it is vital that we protect, enhance and progress peoples rights - any regression will have serious, real world and lasting impacts on people’s lives and experiences
Supporting both the CYP sub-group of @WesselyS inde #MHA review & #SenisLaw I have experienced the consensus that was reached on protecting the rights & freedoms of people with #mentalhealth conditions and/or who are detained in MH settings - it is vital we progress on this basis
Re-sharing these infographics from the co-produced research into #youth experiences of #loneliness and #mentalhealth for @YouthareUnited (full report: tinyurl.com/beingconnected) - also check out these great @AFNCCF resources for schools mentallyhealthyschools.org.u… #MHAW2022
Great to be @UKParliament to mark the statutory guidance of #SenisLaw coming into force introduced @SteveReedMP - this is important moment in reducing the use of physical, mechanical & chemical #restraint and isolation in #mentalhealth settings: legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/201…
Important reminder @DebatINQUEST that harms resulting from use of force and #restraint is still too high, with deaths in #mentalhealth settings now making up the majority of the @INQUEST_ORG case work - justice for these avoidable deaths & practice change must be made a priority
Aji Lewis speaks of the family’s journey and resilience in seeking justice for Seni, working with @SteveReedMP @DebatINQUEST, bereaved families and others to to ensures a legacy for all those who have died through the use of force and restraint in #mentalhealth settings
