Very interesting conference about debrifing @drnutmeg.bsky.social We are exploring about this in Spain.

I would be very interested to find out what you are doing in Spain

Labels eroding a sense of belonging - one of the most important things needed to feel whole and healthy in society. #RRNConf25

#RRNConf25 Great to see such a great turnout at this conference on reducing restraint. First talk today by Gambinga Gambinga on naming the named or unrecognised restraints on people’s lives living in the community was genuinely mind-opening. Brilliant.

Listening to @jopavlopoulou.bsky.social talking about the harmful cultural narratives that shape neurodivergent people's self identity and learning so much. Such an engaging speaker! #RRNConf2025

A packed start to the #RRNConf2025 with @restraintreductionnetwork.org. Already meeting fantastic people. I'm looking forward to spending time with friends and colleagues old and new. So many amazing speakers including @drjohnabaker.bsky.social @cityalan.bsky.social Alexis Quinn and so many more!

I am feeling hopeful after this talk. Hopeful that there are peope who want to change mental health services. Hopeful that people have a vision of how mental health services can work better for people at their most vulnerable. Thank you @femimind.bsky.social and @horatioclare.bsky.social

Donald Trump is not so much moving the Overton window.

He is demolishing the entire building containing the window and constructing an entirely new building with a new window in a different country.

@femimind.bsky.social talking about how, culturally, consent is not about one person but it's given in a social context. Very different to the individualistic view that prevails in Western cultures. Very interesting when we consider the globalisation of patient and staff groups.

Really excited to listen to @femimind.bsky.social in conversation with @horatioclare.bsky.social

Hey @drnutmeg.bsky.social, Rachel Dickinson, Emachi Eneje, Geoffrey L. Dickens - you've been elfed!

If you’re curious about the harm that can happen in mental healthcare but prefer a blog over an academic article (even an open access one), check out this excellent summary from the Mental Elf. It covers the key findings of our review in a clear and accessible way.

Incidents spread via social contagion within the ward, but social contagion is difficult...
