"The happy memories of being pushed on a swing by our parents or rushing down a slide at the local playground last a lifetime." It would be a disaster if we lost our parks don't you think? #SaveOurParks #Nowhere2play ow.ly/RgNx30mprEb

There must be another way! What’s the alternative to the waiting list game? #unacceptable#unfair @NEHFCCG @peterbibawy @Dochayter @NHSEngland teapaw.org/adhdfoundation/status/… – at Colden Common, England

40% of all referrals to CAMHS are children with neurodevelopmental conditions such as autism & ADHD - waiting lists are 2 years + But 80% have co existing ND’s - with inadequate resources for schools it is not surprising that these children have escalating mental health needs....

I also work with kids who were “just like me” and it’s the best feeling in the world. Having ADHD isn’t easy by any means and there are days I wish I could swap brain with somebody else, but days like today make me realise it’s not all that bad 👍🏽🤸🏽‍♀️ #BorntobeADHD teapaw.org/bbcthree/status/977146…
