We need facts as never before. 3 years after Putin invaded Ukraine, I spent 24 hours with combat medics on the Ukrainian frontline. Their courage, compassion, dedication & skill are astounding. Please read & please never stop standing up for Ukraine. 🇺🇦 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Wish there had been more time to hear from Jessika Morgan McNeil and Nellie Allsop. We know from many delegates and Experts by Experience that autistic people with eating disorders require adapted treatment plans.

We loved the talk by Emma Gray and Anna Wingrove of Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (and Anna's description of appearing to be a swan, but paddling furiously below the surface!) Like Anna, we'd love to see funding for #NATP to be taken into other settings where it is needed.

An unexpected finding by our NATP Trainers is that they didn't just witness change in their delegates, but also in themselves and in their own lives. We learn together, from and with each other.

We know that shifting mindsets is rarely achieved by telling someone what they are doing and saying is wrong - it takes careful, compassionate facilitation. Dr Ken Greaves spoke eloquently about managing growth conversations with delegates. #NATPMentalHealth

One essential aspect of NATP was a focus on staff wellbeing - recognising and addressing the stressors experienced by staff daily, and renewing a sense of hope by sharing how everyone can make small changes that have impact Staff wellbeing leads to staff well doing. #RipplesOfChange #Synergy

Warda Farah @wardasworld eloquent talk was insightful and engaging, pushing us all to think ore critically about social justice and anti-oppressive practice. For those who missed her talk, look out this paper to get you started: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

That autistic children will grow up into adults who age seems obvious - yet ageing in the autistic population is currently under researched and rarely considered. We are grateful to @cosmichael.bsky.social for her important contributions in this area, and her talk yesterday. #NATPMentalHealth

There is still much more to do before these abusive policies and practices are banned - 'phased out' is clearly interpreted as 'carry on'. #NATPMentalhealth #Restraint #MentalHealth #autism www.theguardian.com/society/2024...
