I can definitely say I agree with this... Bedside pictures of patients in their previous baseline status of health promote patient-staff relationships, reduce depersonalisation and reduce the risk of staff burnout. @ruth_pettit tagging you again 🤣 https://t.co/SHqU8ZE0vO

Did you know that it's #GriefAwarenessWeek? Books can help children to explore feelings around grief and see that others have had similar experiences to them. We've picked out some titles that you might like to try, with lists for different age groups: https://t.co/c2RWYhbvIn

There is no timetable for how long grief lasts, or how you should feel at a particular time of year. But remember, you aren't alone. https://t.co/EZ43SNRH8v

🥺 People with #delirium often have #hallucinations ℹ️ But mostly they don't tell staff or carers ➡️ Crucial to ask directly e.g. "Are you seeing anything around the bed that is frightening you?" More info: https://t.co/o3IFSbQ0dK

I, too, wouldn't be here if it wasn't for my #ICU psychologist, also helping me to understand and manage my trauma and #PTSD. We are human - we should never be afraid of asking for help. The stigma needs to end.... #WorldMentalHealthDay2024

Let’s reduce stigma. I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for a therapist that worked with me understand and manage trauma from ICU. Let’s take ownership on being a human with experienced and emotions. We are all unique. Own it #WorldMentalHealthDay #WMHD
