I may have missed Christmas but these are more for the new year anyway! After my mess-ups, print problems and postal strikes, they're here! etsy.com/uk/shop/BodyConfide…

Is anyone from here on @bluesky - there isn't much #bodyconfidence presence and it seems like a great space for it.

Imagine if there was a space in your local community where a young person could go, without a referral, and talk to a professional about what they are going through. That’s what we’re calling on the Government for. #FundTheHubs

Just a little reminder:
You can hate your body and still take care of it.
You can feel distressed by it and still not harm it.
You can want to be smaller but still engage in recovery focused behaviours.
The way you feel about your body does not have to dictate how you treat it.

Weekends can be difficult for those of us struggling with loneliness. If this is you, be a friend to yourself this weekend. Spend time doing the things you enjoy. Be gentle with yourself.
You are worthy of love and care.
It's a serious crisis - the system is broken and struggling to cope. Kids have and will die if this isn't addressed... fast. The impact on the young, their families and ultimately society (#crime, #employment) and other societal resources (#NHS #police) is also an issue. *sigh*
Politicians should be aware of the current state of young people's mental health and how inaction is impacting their lives. We shouldn’t have to drive around Westminster in a van to remind them. #EndTheWait
ALT Van driving around Westminster with 'Stop stalling on young people's mental health.' on the side.
ALT Three of our Activists in Parliament square holding up signs which say 'It's time to End The Wait.'
ALT A van which says 'Shouldn't we be getting help before we hit rock bottom, so that we don't reach crisis point? - Ria, 21." on the side.
ALT Our van driving past Big Ben. Our van is on the right, Big Ben is on the left. On the back of our van, it says 'End The Wait'.
Please pass this on...

#LonelinessAwarenessWeek
I'm really excited at the prospect of working with @DrAmyKHarrison and @DrKeriWong again.
Dealing with home and day-job stuff has kept me away from this aspect of myself for a bit, publicly at least.
Roll on the end of GCSEs - I'm ready escape from under the radar!

Word of the day is ‘mumpsimuses’ (16th century): those who insist they are right and apportion blame to others without looking at themselves.
My latest newsletter with a little reference to Valentines - there's more than the romantic leanings of hearts, flowers and teddies when it comes to love I say!
