Today is a landmark day for children and young people in Scotland. As #UNCRCScotland passes through parliament, it’s important to think about what having children’s rights protected in law means to us. This is what it means to me !

the stage 3 debate of the #UNCRCScotland is today! We have a chance to change the lives of all young people. The UNCRC is our young peoples futures and the future is our young people!

To mark the end of #BPDAwarenessMonth, I'm joined with @maria_msyp to chat about what it's like to live with Borderline Personality Disorder.
BPD is one of the most misunderstood mental health problems, and we hope this can help you understand what it's like to live with it. ❤

Mental health in young Carers/young adult Carers is massive and is extremely important as it doesn’t get recognised as much.
