Was so sad to hear today of thr loss of the activist psychiatrist Suman Fernando. His sustained work on institutionalised racism in mental health and his tireless advocacy for de-colonial approaches taught and challenged us to do better. Read Suman (again) here for inspiration: decolpsych.com

I work on #MentalHealth & #Psychosocial Support (#MHPSS) in crisis, primarily with www.mhpss.net and also with a team based in Sri Lanka. I’m exploring Bluesky as a tool for professional exchange, as an alternative to Twitter. May be here more often in the future.
