ALT Quote by Dr Karen Street. RCPCH Officer for Mental Health: There is an urgent need for greater investment across the children’s mental health system so community support is strengthened, fewer children and young people reach crisis, and to develop more appropriate hospital environments for those who do need hospital care.
I’m going to end #mentalhealthawarenessweek2023 with a section from one of my favourite books, Kind Words for Unkind Days. After #RCN23, I’m feeling burnout and questioning every little action, forgetting that I am still a learner at nursing, conferences and life #StNurse
ALT We don't often allow ourselves that grace and space to be a 'learner' despite the fact that anything we do that's new, different or challenging is a learning experience where we're the beginner who is embarking on a series of slip-ups, falling into place-ness and rinse and repeat. Until we're not.
