Very fortunate to have lots of great friends at work but two of my faves are @harveyhumphrey.bsky.social & @drsoapsub.bsky.social ! We regularly have coffee + toast “meetings” where we unpack all of the weeks chaos. Always appreciate their insights!

Mental health problems are real. But they’re rarely people’s only barrier to work. People with experience of mental distress describe a wide range of social, economic, relational and structural barriers to work – in addition to the challenges posed by symptoms. It’s more than a mental health issue 🧵
