LAST FEW DAYS to complete this *short* questionnaire about how the emotional needs of CYP with #ABI are being supported. I'm especially interested in hearing from educational professionals who are such an important part of rehabilitation following paediatric ABI. Please share!
If you are a professional (e.g. Ed Psych, Clin Psych, Teacher, Social Worker) working with children and young people with #ABI, please consider completing this short (15-20 min) survey about about how emotional and psychological wellbeing is supported! uelpsych.eu.qualtrics.com/jf…

I've just signed @GoodLawProject's petition calling on the Government to signal to all of the women of the UK that it cares about their right to safe and legal abortion. Will you add your name? actions.goodlawproject.org/w…
Hey cis people, if you want to see the kind of shit trans people have to deal with every day when we ask for really basic things like being included in a conversation that directly affects us, check out the qrts and comments here
Please don’t cut trans men and nonbinary people out of the conversation today. This is not just a women’s rights issue, anyone who can get pregnant is affected.

Was an absolute joy to encounter this installation on my morning commute.
An incredible moment when I launch outdoor installations of the @smilingboysproject in the locality where the boys are from, where they go to school, where they go 2 d shops - affirming to them that they BELONG in those spaces nt because they are “wanted, stabbed, missing, or…

Hi #psychologytwitter I am looking for a narrative research supervision group that I could join online for my narrative research thesis! Does this exist? #narrativeresearch
Final day of #DClinPsy teaching DONE! (Yesterday. The delay in writing this is very much a reflection of how tired I am.) Now just the small matter of a thesis and final placement to complete.

So many more of you have responded than I expected, and generously shared your experiences. Thank you. I wonder how people make sense of these experiences?
DClinPsy cohorts: the solidarity, supportiveness & camaraderie found in cohorts while training is often talked about. I'm curious about experiences of people not feeling they gel with their cohort, and/or join a new cohort after a break from training (in my case)

I appreciate this is something that is perhaps easier to talk about after the fact. I suppose I am mostly curious to see how many of us are out there?

I'd like to learn more about current thinking and research in clinical health psychology that takes account of context, inequalities and does not rely on dated Western theory and models of health behaviour. Can anybody recommend any articles, examples of practice etc?
