Great experience trying out Ripple Effect mapping to explore the impacts of our work and connections made!
Such a fantastic opportunity in person to build our relationships and make evaluation fun! Thanks to all 🙂

It was great meeting in person and being part of the Mental Health Platform PPI&E steering group yesterday in Edinburgh. @nessbennett.bsky.social helped us with ripple mapping to think about the impact of our work. Thank you Susannah Strong for coordinating. Looking forward to today's Summit #WMHD25

Holy shit the FDA panel on antidpressants seems wild to me. I am not an expert, but apparently depression is a useless term and that is preventing us from feeling emotional distress. We should experience everything as a signal and learn to pay attention to it.
