We believe that the values espoused by much of the content no longer reflect those around inclusion & compassion for those most marginalised to which we aspire. We will continue to be active on other platforms, do check out our Linked In page/account!

What a day! Such an inspiration to work with young people from Speak Out Group from Step by Step Lodgings and co-create a policy brief involving policy and practice recommendations about young people in care moving towards independence. Well done @beckywardtweets @CHRPHomeless

When young people leave care, they often feel alone and on the cliff edge. Can we change things for the better? We think so - and these young people have some good ideas of how! Come and listen to them. eventbrite.co.uk/e/moving-to… #careleavers @JenTarabay

Check Alice’s blog sharing her experience doing her clinical psych placement in homelessness! β€œThis has involved getting rid of my pad and pen… Sometimes just being you is the most important thing, and the therapy techniques are just added extras.” chrphomeless.co.uk/2024/06/0…

Fantastic day focusing our attention to the policy which shapes homelessness at a critical political time. In the Unheard Voices stream we hoped to bring attention to the lack of access to menstrual healthcare for people experiencing homelessness. #CHRPConference2024

@PathwayUK's Alex Bax- great point on distinction between complicated and complex - a bike has lots of parts but a manual to take it apart and put it together (complicated). Can't do the same with a cat (complex). #CHRPConference2024

"How does policy consider the complexity of homelessness and the interaction between the individual and the system?" #CHRPConference2024

Charlie Wood and Jamie Glasspool from @OutcomeHome highlight the impact policy can have on the ground - e.g. shortfalls in housing benefit/universal credit --> service arrears/potential eviction; revolving door between prison release and homelessness #CHRPConference2024

Crucially important conversations about unhelpfulness of categorical approach - language matters. "Dual diagnosis" inherently implies 2 discrete problems, 2 services, separate commissioning etc. Need to stop medicalising distress linked to adversity/poverty #CHRPConference2024

Thank you so much for a brilliant day @CHRPHomeless! I am buzzing. Takeaway message? β€œSystems may be complex but being compassionate isn’t” (Alex Bax)
Happening now! Rick opening the morning plenary and Alex sharing with us about the systemic and individual factors that drive and maintain homelessness … and bring complexity to homelessness. #CHRPConference2024 @Rickviews @HomelessLink @nick_maguire5 @PathwayUK

What a privilege to chair the session on β€œunheard voices” at the @CHRPHomeless annual regional conference. If we’re going to disrupt the systems that aren’t working we need to listen to the voice of lived experience and ACT on what they say #HousingIsAHumanRight
