Chair, Healthwatch Hertfordshire. Busy volunteering but starting to consider my next professional move. Always curious about health, social care, public voice, inequity and the voluntary sector.
So, a clear focus in the #KingsSpeech on the #NHS, #MentalHealth and #PublicHealth. https://lnkd.in/e-uMF2eU. Sadly not a word on #SocialCare. Good to see the ‘trust and respect’ theme referenced again. Here’s why I think that’s important: https://lnkd.in/egWVNEeH #HealthPolicy.
We can't talk about #MentalHealth without talking about diversity. Access to culturally-informed health care makes an impactful difference for people of all backgrounds, especially communities of color. 💙 Learn more about supporting diverse communities at https://bit.ly/3vG3PCU
Rape Crisis Network Ireland (RCNI) is a specialist information and resource centre on rape and all forms of sexual violence with a proven capacity in strategic leadership.
It's been a big weekend with another well-deserved award for RCNI's Privacy and Data Support Coordinator Elaine Mears, this time for her work on 'Breaking the Silence - Terminology Guidelines for Data Collection on Sexual Violence Against Children'. This ground-breaking project brought together 28 different organisations to agree on common terminology on sexual violence against children, allowing for data collection in line with international obligations, including the Istanbul Convention, and enabling the collection of reliable, comprehensive and comparable data, thus breaking silences. At the time of the launch last year, Minister Roderic O'Gorman noted the significance of the report's conclusions: "Historically, children have been silenced by the use of vague and non-sexually explicit language that erases, condones, normalises or minimises violence against them. The more comprehensive the picture of the violence against the child, the more comprehensive the advocacy, protection and interagency supports can be. By using the shared, internationally recognised definitions and indicators provided in ‘Breaking the Silence’, the reports that Irish frontline services publish can contribute to the national and international evidence base on sexual violence against children." What a great way to end the year, in solidarity with the 28 organisations who contributed to making a success of 'Breaking the Silence' 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉

The system of oppression is familiar, and the force of familiarity is why poor decisions are repeated. (They feel familiar so it has to be ‘correct’) This article is talking about the force of familiar and how it is easy to unknowingly keep repeating oppressing fat bodies.

New on the blog: I offer an analysis of the "Ob*sity Bill of Rights" that was presented earlier this year by Right2ObesityCare. While the bill seems to care for the well-being of plus-size patients, it's clear from reading it that it's simply more of the same anti-fatness - and that it only entrenches tired standards and practices that ultimately demonize patients with large bodies. Read the post here: https://lnkd.in/gHq9j73f Want to learn more about uprooting oppressive norms in your care practice? I offer consultations both for individual care practitioners and on an organizational level - visit https://lnkd.in/gtXficXA to learn more and get in touch!

Let's take a moment to support local #PublicHealth workers during NAMI's #MentalHealthMonth! According to NACCHO research, #Harassment targeting local health departments during the COVID-19 pandemic was pervasive and harmful. Nationwide, health department leaders attributed this harassment to a variety of factors that were infrastructural, social, and political. A NACCHO analysis from a de Beaumont Foundation study found that local public health staff who had experienced harassment reported poor mental and emotional health than those that didn't, as well as increased intentions to leave the public health workforce.
