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 We’ve been urging @rishisunak to include the mental health bill - which would see reforms to the outdated Mental Health Act.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 👀

I enjoy living in Australia, where we humans are in an escalating "innovation arms race" with cockatoos, over trash. I bet we lose livescience.com/cockatoos-hu…

I'm sad to have finished up with @StudentMindsOrg after two years of remote, asynch work on studentspace.org.uk. I couldn't have wished for a better team and project through the heavy days of the pandemic 🧡🧡🧡

BUT I've started today at @UNSW working on a couple of products related to drug harm reduction, and I'm excited! Arrived today to my very own office, which was highly unexpected!

We recently used @NotionHQ to build an insights index at @StudentMindsOrg. A simple database where users can search by topic for research/data about student mental health. 1/
A screenshot of our insights index built using Notion. The image shows a table, with columns including: type, name, source, link and theme. Each row is a different "insight" containing data or research about student mental health.
