The Children’s Charities Coalition is committed to working across government departments to ensure that its β€˜breaking down barriers to opportunity’ mission meaningfully engages with children and their families. We hope that this mission-led government will be able to deliver on its promise of change for all children.

Important piece (based on detailed research) on loneliness linked to our use of technology. This is a huge issue for young people - as the research highlights. Too much judgmental comparison with others; barriers to real-life contact; surface level, not deep connections……1/2

After my autism epiphany at 42 I discovered the online #ActuallyAutistic community & #Neurodiversity YouTube video by Ausome Charlie AuDHD

When I had my autism epiphany, aged 42, I discovered the online #ActuallyAutistic community (on the Xitter) and the #Neurodiversity Movement.

This changed my life for the better. Find out why in this short video (52 seconds).

I’m delighted to be here after leaving Twitter/X in the summer.

I am a psychotherapist/counsellor, who had a breakdown in 2014/15.

I work with a wide variety of clients, ages 11-80+, including many clients with eating disorders. I wrote my masters dissertation on eating disorders and therapy.
