This International Women’s Day, we’re reminded that progress doesn’t happen by chance - it happens through action. While systemic barriers still exist, real change comes when women support each other, speak up, and challenge bias. Male allies also play a crucial role in advocating for equality. Our CEO, Rebekah Cresswell shares her thoughts on why we must take action today to create a better tomorrow: 🗣 “I would encourage women to support each other and address issues as they arise rather than “put up” with them. If we allow things to foster that are not positive, we don’t pave the way for the next generation of women.” Let’s work together to build a more inclusive future 💪

Discover Nathan's journey of recovery at Priory Hospital Dewsbury 🙌🏡 Nathan has faced the challenges of schizophrenia and substance misuse, which impacted his emotional regulation, coping strategies, and interpersonal skills. His journey to recovery has been inspiring, and we’re proud to share his progress at Priory Hospital Dewsbury 📈 Nathan was admitted to Hartley Ward to receive the personalised care he needed, with a focus on rebuilding his self-belief, improving anger awareness, and developing better coping strategies. 🏡 At Dewsbury, he worked on engaging with the community, structuring his days, and moving towards independent living. With support from the team: • Psychologists helped Nathan build self-belief through motivational interviewing and risk awareness work. • Occupational therapists taught him vital independent living skills, such as using public transport and connecting with community resources. • Nursing staff worked on increasing his understanding of his illness and encouraged self-medication. Nathan also strengthened his relationship with his father, with regular visits and shared activities, and the support of community mental health services helped ensure a smooth transition to independent living. Today, Nathan is thriving in his own flat and enjoying the community life he once struggled to engage with. His success is a testament to the power of tailored support and the determination to overcome challenges. Let’s share our admiration for Nathan in the comments below! 💬⤵
