I dunno, call this a crazy idea, BBC Radio Four, but maybe you could give us the lovely, life-affirming Tweet of the Day *every* day of the week, just for a minute or 90 seconds.

Important topic

The Church and Self Harm Project @churchandselfharm.bsky.social · May 23

@rdsallynash.bsky.social Hi Sally, I am working on a project to understand the pastoral care experiences of people who have experienced self-harm. If you are able to share the links with your community I would be very grateful.
Rev. Kate Harford
(University chaplain, MCC minister & MA student)

The Church and Self Harm Project @churchandselfharm.bsky.social · May 23

Good morning, friends. I am conducting research into the pastoral care experiences of adults who have self-harmed.
If you know an organisation or individual who could help me to reach more people with a story to share, please pass on the details. Thank you!
