People seem to love their mental health science when it's all about brains. But our most robust scientific findings about mental health problems are the links to poverty, inequality, gender politics, and violence.
Funny how that is less appealing to most people.
Science, eh?

Piece in @thetimes suggests @DavidGauke plans to make reforms to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. In particular, enabling prison sentences over 4 years to become spent at some point. This is something @unlockcharity has long campaigned for. thetimes.co.uk/article/6d970…

With lots of talk about as young as 7yo targeted for #CountyLines surely how they are being ‘accessed’ has to be no.1 priority. That cycle must be broken, and swiftly. Older siblings. #School proximity. #Care. #Parents. All need to be better engaged stakeholders in #prevention.

I’m writing a recommended reading list for people wanting to understand #womensprisons.
