Great experience trying out Ripple Effect mapping to explore the impacts of our work and connections made!
Such a fantastic opportunity in person to build our relationships and make evaluation fun! Thanks to all 🙂
It was great meeting in person and being part of the Mental Health Platform PPI&E steering group yesterday in Edinburgh. @nessbennett.bsky.social helped us with ripple mapping to think about the impact of our work. Thank you Susannah Strong for coordinating. Looking forward to today's Summit #WMHD25

Holy shit the FDA panel on antidpressants seems wild to me. I am not an expert, but apparently depression is a useless term and that is preventing us from feeling emotional distress. We should experience everything as a signal and learn to pay attention to it.

New paper published today but a long time in the making. A critique of the pseudo-diagnosis of complex emotional needs. We outline a number of concerns and risks of the term which has quickly become widely adopted in the NHS.

Are you interested in hearing what people have to say?

Do you like breaking things?

Are you using, or wanting to use, online survey tools and interested in testing something new?

If the answer is yes, we're looking for beta testers. Please get in touch and I'll talk through the simple process.
