eventbrite.co.uk/e/from-cop28-t… Climate change and war are irrevocably linked - to stop one we must stop both. Deborah Burton of @_TPNS made good progress in alerting the world to this at @COP28_UAE and will be at @COP29_AZ - join this zoom call to hear more!
Resources and actions on Rwanda to share this week👇🏾 Equipping ourselves with accurate information and building our solidarity and resistance are crucial in this moment. Remember that we keep each other safe, and we leave no one behind ✊🏾❤️ migrantsorganise.org/we-keep-each-o…
Say NO to mega incinerators in the NE 🌍 Incinerators release toxic pollutants - bad for the planet, bad for health 🌍Don't dump our waste on low-income communities with a history of systemic harm 🌍We already have too many incinerators in the NE- this will further reduce ♻️

A “culture of blame shifting and unaccountability” in the NHS has led to the service continuing to use systems that criminalise people in distress during mental health crises, a report by the charity @Medact has warned bmj.com/content/385/bm…
Very important read for all in mental health "The systemic conditions which enabled SIM – entrenched coercive mental health care practices, behaviourism, neoliberalism and the stigmatising ‘personality disorder’ construct – remain intact". Calls @NHSEngland for apology + action.

Incredibly important new report from @Medact, building on the work of @StopSIMMH, exploring the SIM scheme & ongoing SIM-like practices. It calls for an end to punitive, exclusionary & discriminatory practices, & NHS collaboration with police to criminalise people in distress👇

Mental illness and suicide is still being criminalised as we saw once again tragically this week. Cameron Edwards killed himself on the same day as appearing in court in relation to a previous suicide attempt. RIP Cameron. Please attend 👇event to honour @StopSIMMH and hear more.
We have really great news! Thanks to 52 wonderful people, we have reached our £5,000 goal for this year's @BigGive #GreenMatchFund 🥳 These funds will support our work training & upskilling health workers to use their voice in the fight for health & climate justice 🌎
🚨🚨 We @RentersReformCo members will not accept this Renters (Reform) Bill 🚨🚨 As it enters its remaining House of Commons stages this afternoon, we are warning that in its current form the Bill "will be a failure". Read full statement below:
⏰ There are only 24 hours left to double your donation and support Medact to change the narrative on climate, health and fuel poverty! ⏰ If eighty one people donate just £10 each, or forty people donate £20 each, we will reach our goal!! Donate: donate.biggive.org/campaign/a0569…

Heartwrenching figures are everywhere, but this one truly floored us. 8 million people currently live in 3.7 million dangerous homes that are cold, in need of repair or have serious hazards ⚠️ Fixing our leaky, mouldy and life-endangering homes must be a top priority 🚨
✊🏽We are standing together against the cruel Rwanda Act. That is why we & 250 other organisations wrote to the PM about about our shared outrage on this despicable assault on the most marginalised in our society. #NotRwandaNotAnywhere Read more👇🏽
It was fantastic to co-organise this with @HarrowLawCentre and see tenants, health workers, community organisations and local residents come togehter to think about how to win healthy and secure homes If you are a local healthcare worker come to the next @HAHealthyHomes meeting

A “culture of blame shifting and unaccountability” in the NHS has led to the service continuing to use systems that criminalise people in distress during mental health crises, a report by the charity @Medact has warned bmj.com/content/385/bm…
For anyone who’d like to learn more about the criminalisation of mental distress, @Medact are launching their report tomorrow evening online, details below. It’s free, there’s a panel discussion with @Shrink_at_Large and artworks medact.org/event/criminal…

Very important read for all in mental health "The systemic conditions which enabled SIM – entrenched coercive mental health care practices, behaviourism, neoliberalism and the stigmatising ‘personality disorder’ construct – remain intact". Calls @NHSEngland for apology + action.

NSUN fully supports these calls. We urge health workers, royal colleges and other mental health charities, NHS trusts and ambulance services, NHS England and government to heed the recommendations of this report.
It also calls for NHS England to apologise to the StopSIM Coalition and launch an independent inquiry into ongoing SIM-like practices, and for the government to address the social determinants of mental ill-health as well as funding non-coercive, community-based crisis support.
This is happening tonight online. Free and open to all. Great speakers and vital learning for all mental health, emergency professionals and commissioners. @Medact collaboration with @StopSIMMH looking at origins, harms and alternatives to criminalisation of distress.
This week is the launch of our newest research project, Criminalising Distress, on the impact of police intervention in mental health care, particularly NHS England's implementation of Serenity Integrated Mentoring. medact.org/event/criminal… Read on for info on our panelists...
