Borderline personality disorder is not an 'illness of character'. It is an umbrella term that enables contempt, abuse and neglect both in and outside of psychiatric services. It covers up complex trauma, neurodivergence, discrimination, bipolar and PMDD, sometimes fatally.
Alex Gowlland, deputy director of the Cabinet Office’s Disability Unit, says the government “strongly rejects” findings from the UN Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. #CRDP24 liamodell.com/2024/04/26/dis…
"Ellen Clifford🙌 has been granted permission to bring a judicial review of the public consultation over DWP reforms". Vital action to stop what would be the near removal of the support group, putting thousands at huge risk. I will join protesters outside: tinyurl.com/de6nj2pv
The story of SIM is largely the story of the BPD construct. As the Medact report highlights, most of the patients who were criminalized for being in desperate need were women labeled with this diagnosis. The BPD construct implies illness isn't legitimate enabling criminalisation.

📢 STUDY ALERT 📢 A great PhD student Sam, is looking for participants for a study looking at healthcare experiences amongst queer autistic people. Want to take part? Looking for: ✅ People who are Autistic AND Queer ✅Live in the UK ✅ 18-35 ✅Accessed healthcare < 6 months
Frontline, their partner organisation in social work, has also had to grapple with its failure despite huge ongoing investment, as we cover here (with @robin_23_99):
Why are interventions like positive risk taking and sim-like approaches so sticky? Why is it so hard to stop staff holding on to them?
‘England’s mental health care lacks money, yes – but it also lacks compassion’. New article from me for @guardian emphasising the paradigm shift we need is as much about ideology as funding. Can we seize the moment? Can we afford not to? #IatrogenicHarm theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
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.

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👇

“Though NHS England called for SIM-like practices to be “eradicated” our research found multiple ongoing schemes which continue to criminalise distress” The exhausting work of @StopSIMMH coalition brought these schemes to a wider audience and it is galling that practices remain

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.

.@Rethink_ again, we ask you, do you support a halt now, temporary or permanent, to the roll-out of oxevision?
Practical, tangible support would help right now- information sharing, researching, writing, networking This doesn’t have to be publicly- we know there’s lots of reasons survivors and professionals can’t put their name to something. Our DMs/email are always open, anon guaranteed

There are ways to talk about what’s bad in mental health treatment without completely trashing it. People who’ve experienced bad treatment need to be allowed to discuss & process that without being drawn into total anti-psychiatry where hopes of finding good treatment disappear.

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.
"A culture of unaccountability and blame-shifting has resulted in a marked absence of meaningful institutional change. The NHS Innovation Accelerator has continued to promote dubious and potentially unevidenced ‘innovations’ such as ... Oxevision" @StopOxevision

To use their power and influence to improve not their own standing (professional career ambitions, money, personal status etc) but the standing of people whom without, they would not have a job or career in the first place.
Dear Friends who are utterly drained from carrying resistance movements like #StopSIM and #StopOxevision. What do you need other survivors and professionals to do to carry weight and make sure these things don't happen again? xx (Do ignore if it would cost spoons to say)
We remain concerned that those with the power and resources to address these, and multiple other issues we have raised, refuse to do so. This includes charities such as @Rethink_
UN 'is deeply concerned about evidence ... that there is increasing rates of institutionalisation of disabled people, including disabled people living in secure psychiatric facilities due to a lack of community-based support' #CRDP24 #StolenLives
Breaking: United Nations find UK Government have failed Disabled people: - Failed to address 'grave and systematic violations' of our rights - Failed to end discrimination - Failed to ensure 'adequate standard of living and social protection' Via @Dis_PPL_Protest
@Rethink_ Saying you think it’s ok to be used with consent is endorsing it though?… And @StopOxevision research has shown it’s not being used with consent. Some information posters don’t even use the word camera That’s what’s happening *right now*
Mental health providers low-key obsession everything is about them.
Lecture today mentioning DBT's 'withdrawal of warmth' about not giving attention to someone who has self-harmed to not reinforce them to do it again. Personally self-harm has had many functions e.g. punishment or release and warmth has helped me stop. So much I could say.
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.
@LuckyErica3 @NSUNnews And puts a greater emotional burden on us too. And none of this should be the responsibility of survivors to be regulators and lawyers and investigative journalists and detectives etc.
@LuckyErica3 Thank you for this. You've put it so well. @NSUNnews have always been the only mental health org that have actually been there to support us through StopSIM and stopoxevision. The silence from everyone else speaks loudly and hurts deeply. It makes us more vulnerable speaking out
Do you ever just sit with how you’ve been quietly discriminated against? The ways that people shuffle away from you, the conversations avoided, the job interviews failed for reasons thinly veiled about your disability, the twee looks and patronising tones. Just me?
A very sobering response to a midwife tweeting that women lie about reduced fetal movements in order to get an induction of labour 🙏
What a disgrace. I had RFM 5 times over 6 weeks. If any 1 of the midwives would’ve listened, or followed guidance, my baby would be alive. Instead I was sent home. Guess what? She wasn’t moving because my placenta was failing. This attitude from midwives is causing mass deaths.
@RITB_ @shattenstone @KiraCochrane They did!
@LizDurrant19 #Oliverscampaign It is very well written Liz who is going to monitor that organisations are expecting their staff to read these standards including casual staff
Why the fuck is @Rethink_ getting into bed with Oxehealth? Are they okay with cameras in patients' bedrooms - adults, children - or do they care about folks with #mentalillness @charitablemark #StopOxevision
Thanks again @Rethink_ ! Backbones in short supply apparently #StopOxevision
@RITB_ @Rebeccasmt @AmyClareMartin I would say a higher number of people dying in prison, does not suggest prison is safer. An I'd add to that the risk of injury and infection in prison compared to in a mental health facility. An if you're a woman, female prisons aren't categorised, so a lot more dangerous.
