Too little attention is given to the families and carers of patients. This presentation shared a Gloucestershire programme of peer support for families. One of the questions asked blew my mind!
‘What is it that makes empathy and human compassion so absent from our services?’
Thoughts??

Final Plenary session for #bigspd26 was on the value of nature based interventions and meaningful activity and connections. Is anyone else thinking Occupational Therapy??
Great outcomes. Thanks for sharing. #thementalelf

@thementalelf.bsky.social lovely walk home from dinner last night. Beautiful sky with crescent moon and regulus star in alignment. #bigspd26 #thementalelf

Humour as a therapeutic tool?
Great reflective discussion around the use of humour in clinical interactions. Risky or Healing?
