‘A hospital worker WhatsApped my mental breakdown’. This is one of the main reasons we must #StopOxevision. There is a significant history of statutory workers, from mental health staff to police, recording people—predominantly traumatised women—in vulnerable states. #StopOxevision

Our cost of a child calculations show, for the first time, all family types on low and modest incomes can't meet their costs or minimum living standards. Work alone isn’t the answer to child poverty—we need investment in social security. cpag.org.uk/sites/defaul...

Does my baby forget me when I go to work? It’s a common question among new parents. To answer we need to explore the distinction between the complex narrative memory we have as adults and the earlier forms of recognition common to babies. (Thread 🧵)

Echoing this - many of our practices in psychotherapy are just well-disguised forms of docility-making. If the best we can offer are ways to “cope” and “function” within a fucked-up society, then we are acting as tools of state oppression

Yes, indeed. Lots of common modalities are about locating the problem in the individual, which can be deeply unhelpful. The key, as always, if you're seeking treatment is having a knowledgeable professional/person guiding you through the pros & cons of each treatment angle/method.

I'm pretty tired of the narrative that psych medication "numbs", "dulls", "dampens down" and therapy is the real cure this week 🥱 Why assume therapy can never acclimatise a person to an unjust world? Why assume medication doesn't treat just because we don't know for sure?

There was some frightening evidence, never thought a push to get people out of institutions and prevent incarceration would so readily be weaponised against people who are ill and needing support.

Woke up thinking of Morgan’s lovely family, thinking of the brilliantly engaged jury and most of all thinking of Morgan, who deserved so much more. I honestly believe most people have no idea of the way #autistic people are ‘treated’ or the carelessness and cruelty of (some) #MentalHealth services

Jury conclusion Morgan Betchley's inquest www.georgejulian.co.uk/2024/11/22/m... Morgan died as a result of her own actions. Historical evidence suggests in all probability Morgan’s intent had been to self-harm as a cry for help and that it was not her intention to end her life #OpenJustice 1/9
A beautiful young woman with long blonde hair sweeping over her shoulders smiles at the camera. There is a blue sky behind her. Morgan, a young mum with long blonde hair is stood side on to the camera at the beach. She wears a cream jumper and is cradling her newborn baby in a white baby grow/winter suit thing. The sky is blue and you can see the beach behind them. She is smiling with her eyes closed.

National statistics published 31/10/2024 show the rate of children put through a s47 child protection investigation in England that didn't lead to a child protection plan has nearly doubled since 2014. That's 162,410 children investigated in 2024 that did not find harm
Graph showing doubling of investigations since 2014 whilst children receiving programmes because of need to protect has not changed

Also struck by the parallels between Morgan writing to express remorse for her actions and the way services often respond to complaints (with a letter containing if lucky an apology but also offering context and reasons)

Ten years ago I joined another site. I was being prosecuted following a suicide attempt. I faced threat of prison, because I had no mental health care. Ten years on, with awards for lived experience work, I’ve published in medical and psychiatric journals, but what has changed? It’s still happening.
