Loved seeing you all and thank you @mirandawolpert.bsky.social for a warm and important discussion. @helenundy.bsky.social you are a hero for doing this, thank you! 🙏🏼
This evening I was lucky enough to have dinner with a group of mental health leaders (thank you @mirandawolpert.bsky.social) - & realised that we're not connected on here. So I got a 'mental health leaders' starter pack going: go.bsky.app/DqTaxQj - please do tell me all the great people I've missed!
