We're all over the moon about #LostMothers win at last night's @cjalliance.bsky.social awards!
Driven throughout by women with experience of maternal imprisonment & separation, this research really was ground-breaking. What a privilege to be involved.

This looks simply brilliant! Is it only for doctoral students? A colleague is just beginning a project looking at collections - she gained her PhD recently (within last 12 months).

β€˜The ward felt like a prison. What had I let them do?’: how my daughter was crushed by a health service meant to help her Ruth was 14 years old and being treated for an eating disorder when she died after being detained under the Mental Health Act. She wasn’t allowed to see her family for more than a few hours a week. Ho...

This article broke my heart, and underlines the shocking state children’s mental health care today - the erosion of children’s and parents’ rights, unqualified and inexperienced staff, corporations who don’t care, and so much more.

It can't be underestimated how important this is.

Like 'SIM', this scandal has been uncovered by survivors themselves, not professionals.

Anyone concerned about patient safety, the merging of the private sector & the state, misuse of technology, research ethics & human rights needs to read this.
