Good morning to everyone joining us in Liverpool and online for this year’s RRN conference!

We are ready for two days of learning, discussion and working together to inspire a collective shift toward relational, trauma-informed care with relationships at the heart. #RRNConf25

@jendaffin.bsky.social such an important talk today expanding on research conducted by Platform.

Trauma is STILL not asked about
When it is, it’s often denied or belittled.

The diagnosis is used as a way to gatekeep care and deny services.

It creates chronic dismissal and structural denial.

Telling someone who has and is surviving #CSA or sexual abuse that their personality is disordered, is wrong and unethical. #TraumaNotPD
This diagnosis is like a red flag to all mental health and social care workers - it means we are hated and suspected before we even get near a service.

A block of clay on a wooden surface, with a small handmade bowl and a smaller clay fragment beside it. It suggests we can make something of our own, I hope x

To all spending Christmas or the hols estranged from family: you're not broken, selfish, or unworthy. Sometimes, choosing life means letting go of those who hurt us. Totally legitimate chosen Fam include: lovers, partners, rabbits, cats, Twitch friends, snails, stars, clay, plants, dogs and friends.

Suicidal thoughts are loud, but they don't tell the truth. The world is better with you in it.

Not worth wasting time on people who deep down believe you β€˜lack insight’ for not accepting their imposed understanding of your despair. Life is too short to tolerate such intolerance.

The ending of Girl, Interrupted sees the main character reject psychiatryβ€”and specifically Borderline Personality Disorderβ€”for its inherent sexism.

On #BPD, she writes: β€œTo quote my post-Melvin psychiatrist: β€˜It’s what they call people whose lifestyles bother them.’”

Think it’s fair to say we’re all pretty disappointed* with @teamlabouruk.bsky.social with regards to broken mental health support promises.
