Calling out systemic BS.

National Suicide Prevention Alliance #NSPAConf Dr Chloe Beale is on hiatus 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Wow what an amazing & needed session, speaking truth

"There's never going to be enough resources for what we need, how can things improve in mental health services?" 👇 Dr Chloe Beale is on hiatus 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ says we need to see honesty, co-production not tokenism, working with the third sector and refusing to be complicit. #NSPAConf

One more time for those in the back: ‘Having capacity is not a bar to being compulsorily detained’
