This couldn't be any clearer, could it?!

NINE national organisations have signed a joint statement on proposals to extend s135/136 MHA powers to "authorised persons".

For what my view's worth: I agree them 100%.

The AMHP Leads Network have published a briefing for MPs for the Mental Health Bill Comittee Stage. We propose several amendments including a greater enforceability of the Guiding Principles to support AMHPs' values and professionalism. Please share.

Preach.

Alt text: A social media post featuring a swirling, surrealist painting by Naudline Cluvie Pierre with flowing forms in reds, greens, and yellows, accompanied by black text that reads: “The point is not to be regulated all the time. You are an animal.” Below, the caption by @gendersauce says: “I HATE the social media trend of making people feel like any state other than regulation is a bad thing. True regulation is the ability to transition between states, not get stuck in a perpetual false state of so-called calm behavior. AND moments of true dysregulation can wake us up to the world and our place in it. All of your humanness is welcome.” The post has over 31,000 likes. Words by Aleah Black.
