https://lnkd.in/ecZTWD3J (Click on link and scroll down to read) Mental health services in the UK have always been hard to access. In the last past 5 years, they can no longer meet the needs of the increasing numbers of suffering individuals. The recuring question is "Why are more people diagnosed with depression/ADHD/ BPD?" So, what is happening? #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthdiscrimination #ADHD #BPD #CPTSD #toriesout

The NDIS has announced changes affecting Short-Term Accommodation (STA), a crucial support for those living alone. STA isn't just a break from routine; it's vital for mental health, well-being, and independence.

😌 NDIS and Mental Health Support People with psychosocial disabilities can be eligible for NDIS support if their condition is permanent and significantly impacts their daily lives. The NDIS aims to complement existing mental health services by working alongside other services, such as public mental health systems, private practitioners, and community organisations, to provide comprehensive support. The NDIS provides funding for a range of supports tailored to individual needs. This can include: ✅ Therapeutic Support: Access to psychologists, psychiatrists, and other mental health professionals. ✅ Assistive Technology: Tools or devices that help with daily living or communication. ✅ Personal Care Assistance: Help with daily tasks such as personal hygiene or household chores. ✅ Community Participation: Activities and programs that promote social inclusion and community engagement. ✅ Capacity Building: Services aimed at developing skills and improving independence, such as life skills training or employment support.

Around 10% of NDIS participants, totalling 63,010 individuals, have a psychosocial disability. The NDIS review suggests a new approach, focusing on personal recovery and tailored interventions. It advocates for early intervention pathways, improved provider standards, and better integration between the NDIS and mental health systems.

I have a few interesting reflections to ponder over the coming month leading up to World Mental Health day 2024. Why are we still hearing individual narratives about 'mental illness' and calling a crisis line? Has society 'we' not moved past the fact, that we as a society, are eroding the environmental, social and political democracy fabric in the name of economics?💲 Why aren't we acknowledging power when discussing marginalized communities over representation?Our communities are not mentally ill, they're responding to un-affirming, discriminatory and a downright lethal world seeking to erase many of us. I have been bullied, gas lit, dismissed, abused and neglected (can't say anything for legal reasons), and been witness to some of the most unethical employment conduct and psychiatric treatment I have ever witnessed in my 15 years in child welfare and mental health. ⚫ I have been intimidated, harassed, denied my rights, and forced to self discharged due to no allied health team to support my occupational and social needs. 🔴 From employment to treatment, it's been a nightmare. And I vow to work for myself, and consult externally for the rest of my life. 🌃 People with psychosocial disabilities are so discriminated against in the legal system. The law is foundationally sanist. ⚖️ I have been deeply let down by my own training and original professional discipline social work, I have found the institution to be weak, weak in mental health systemic advocacy and reform, weak in unionising, weak in sourcing funding for projects that matter, and are a toothless disciplinary tiger that seeks to fit into the epistemic hierarchy of Accredited Mental Health Social Workers 'Social Psychology'. 🫨 I am Mad, very Mad, at being policed behind the scenes, at not being able to expose injustice for fear of harassment and legal consequences. 🔥 As users, refusers, psychiatric and trauma survivors, ex patient and inmates, the psychosocial disabled and the Mad we need to be collectivising and moving away from further paid employment in the very systems we seek to resist. 🎁 2024 has been a wake up call. My work will remain 🌎🌎🌎. There are private actors and commercial determinants that seek profit over people in the psychiatric services medical industrial complex. 🎢🎢 In this late capitalist stage, we are at severe risk of further rights abuses and violations if we don't collectivise as a community of outraged humans. 🌎 I know I'm being internationally vague, but I've had to carry a lot this year. 🏠 And usually when pushed, I push back harder, but I have been tested to my human rights limits. 🤢🤢 Peer work in mental health services employed by the state is not the answer. 🫢🫢 The more I read, the more I realize the inherent psychiatric oppression and institutional Sanism, the more I realize we need a new world, to abolish, to practice liberation, to see truth to justice. I will not be silenced. And neither should you. 🔥🔥🔥

Maintenance has become a growing nuisance with obviously many factors at play. In my current opinion piece im asking these three key questions, whether the existing legislation has been effective in addressing the gendered and systemic dynamics surrounding maintenance, secondly whether cultural norms have been effective in shaping a working society and lastly whether there has been adequate sensitisation about the impact of maintenance and how it affects the mental health of all concerned. #Maintenance #ChildSupport #MentalHealth #Fathers #Mothers #MaintenanceCourts
