It's #WorldMentalHealthDay
Nearly 1 in 7 people live with a #MentalHealth condition.
People with lived experience can help transform mental health care at every stage: from designing services to delivering and improving them.
By collaborating and working together, experts with lived experience, and people working in mental health systems, policy, and research can design care that is person-centred, rights-based and rooted in dignity.
Make community-based services stronger, support continuity of care and make every conversation count bit.ly/4yJjvBc

People with lived experience are asked to share their stories but are often excluded from policy decisions.
Meaningful engagement extends beyond simply being heard.
This #WorldMentalHealthDay, we call on all decision makers and leaders to move from listening to action – and build mental health systems with people who live with mental health conditions, not merely for them.
#LetsTalk and act together!
"As a general rule, the patient should be doing about 80 percent of the talking in sessions."

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day
It is more important than ever to open up honest conversations about the issue. It is also important to work to address harmful myths and stigma surrounding mental illness.

Honestly being in analysis and experiencing real analytic boundaries for the first time, then having to go back and unpack whatever the hell was actually going on in all of your previous therapy experiences, is such a trip!
True
Gabor Mate on siblings: “No siblings grow up in the same house. No siblings have the same parents, no siblings have the same family, no siblings have the same childhood.”
Birth order, gender, parents’ changing circumstances, different temperaments, each child experiences the family differently.
A powerful reminder that your sibling’s childhood wasn’t the same as yours.
What do you think, do you and your siblings remember your childhoods differently?
