I am sympathetic to #medical professionals as well as to #MentalHealth providers, however, IF you have uttered ☝🏼 of following statements or engaged in ☝🏼 of following behaviors you may want to reassess your #profession:

- ‘I am sorry you are to complex, complicated, we 1

can’t help you’
-‘You don’t want help bc you did not do x, y, or z’
-If you are unable to truly #Listen
-If you are unwilling to continually assess if you are negatively impacting situation
-If you use manipulation
-If you feel person & or family should not have #voice in 2

planning - it should be central.
-If you are unable to discuss difficult topics/concern w person & or family.
-If you make assumptions
-If you are unwilling to collaborate with others that support/provide care to person/family
-If you say ☝🏼 thing to person & or family & 3

another to #TeamMembers when person/family not present.
-If you #joke about a person & or family (sorry I don’t buy the argument ‘Need to laugh because we have stressful job’). Nope. Never violate a persons #dignity

We all make mistakes. Yet, if you do any of the above 👆🏻 4

I’d encourage you to re-think your #profession. I would argue these aren’t #Mistakes rather a #philosophy of #practice or #care that has NO place in #Health or #MentalHealth system.

Thanks for coming to my #TEDx
