Have you signed up for our RRN webinar on post-incident responses? I'll be talking with Alexis Quinn about what should happen after restraint. Drawing on the findings from DRIVE-MH and lived experience, we will explore what good post-incident support can look like in practice.

We would like to say a big thank you to our keynote speakers, workshop facilitators and everyone who joined us in Liverpool and online for contributing to two fantastic days at this year’s conference. We hope you will be able to join us next time. #RRNConf25

Very interesting conference about debrifing @drnutmeg.bsky.social We are exploring about this in Spain.

Labels eroding a sense of belonging - one of the most important things needed to feel whole and healthy in society. #RRNConf25

#RRNConf25 Great to see such a great turnout at this conference on reducing restraint. First talk today by Gambinga Gambinga on naming the named or unrecognised restraints on people’s lives living in the community was genuinely mind-opening. Brilliant.

Listening to @jopavlopoulou.bsky.social talking about the harmful cultural narratives that shape neurodivergent people's self identity and learning so much. Such an engaging speaker! #RRNConf2025

A packed start to the #RRNConf2025 with @restraintreductionnetwork.org. Already meeting fantastic people. I'm looking forward to spending time with friends and colleagues old and new. So many amazing speakers including @drjohnabaker.bsky.social @cityalan.bsky.social Alexis Quinn and so many more!

Donald Trump is not so much moving the Overton window. He is demolishing the entire building containing the window and constructing an entirely new building with a new window in a different country.

@femimind.bsky.social talking about how, culturally, consent is not about one person but it's given in a social context. Very different to the individualistic view that prevails in Western cultures. Very interesting when we consider the globalisation of patient and staff groups.

Really excited to listen to @femimind.bsky.social in conversation with @horatioclare.bsky.social
