Inquiry into violence against women, domestic abuse, and sexual violence—migrant women: evidence session 2
Great, thank you. I'm conscious of time. Just one question to both of you regarding Welsh Government support: to what extent do you think that Welsh Government could support those who have no recourse to public funds? And what are the key challenges and…

Thank you for attending. How can the policy and funding framework be amended or changed in Wales to improve the availability and provision of specialist services for migrant women and girls?

Lovely. Thanks very much. That's all from me, Chair.

Okay, thank you.

Okay. Thanks for that. It's pretty obvious, then, what the Welsh Government perhaps could be doing, or should be doing, in terms of support: training, obviously, the review that Sara talked about concerning appeals, staff training, supporting staff…

Yes, thanks, Chair. It's already been raised, the role of public bodies, but it'd be helpful just to have the views of you today with regard to the way in which public bodies—local authorities, obviously, but police, social services, health and education…

Debate: The Platinum Jubilee
To spoil the trend, I am yet to win a best-dressed competition, but I hope that might change next week at the Ruabon Platinum Jubilee celebrations. I'd like to begin, though, by saying just what a pleasure it is to contribute to this debate and to support the…

Business Statement and Announcement
Diolch, Llywydd. Indeed it is. I was delighted to hear the First Minister's response to my question a little earlier, but I'd also be grateful if a statement could be forthcoming should Wrexham win the city of culture bid, outlining details of the Welsh…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, sport and culture are obviously two key drivers for tourism in Wales and, here in north Wales, we have some golden opportunities to promote tourism through sport and culture in the coming weeks. Would you confirm that you and your entire…

Mental health inequalities: evidence session with Professor Sir Sam Everington
Just a quick one. And it involves the provision of services and activities aligned with social prescribing. Is it more difficult to be able to offer patients social prescriptions in rural areas, where there may be more limited availability of services, or is…

I've got one more, yes.

No, I was just in agreement, based on a committee inquiry that we had on the children's committee recently. Sorry.

On to Joyce is fine, thanks, Chair. Thanks, Sam.

Mental health inequalities: evidence session with Professor Sir Sam Everington
Yes. Thanks, Chair. It is absolutely fascinating. I remember speaking to someone in the medical field recently, and I was telling them about my interest in Gabor Maté, and his work that looks at the link between mental health, wellness, ill mental health and…

Mental health inequalities: evidence session with Mind Cymru and Leonard Cheshire
Yes. It's fascinating what you say about the role of spirituality as well. Interventions are often directed toward alleviating strain and trauma in the brain, whereas actually it's in the heart and the gut, where spirituality often resides, that we need to…

Thanks, Chair. I'm just going to ask briefly about the workforce or give an opportunity to our contributors just to talk about the workforce and specifically what action is needed to diversify the mental health workforce that we have in Wales.

Mental health inequalities: evidence session with Public Health Wales
Excellent. Thank you. I'm just going to quickly ask about unresolved trauma and ACEs and the link between them. ACEs are, effectively, trauma events, and we know that there's a huge amount of research that shows that unresolved trauma leads to lifelong mental…
, Health and Social Care Committee
Mental health inequalities: evidence session with Public Health Wales
Thanks, Chair. I'm just going to ask about unresolved trauma and therefore ACEs as well and life-course approaches. Could you just explain a little bit more about what you mean by 'life-course approach' to understanding and addressing mental health and also…

Mental health inequalities: evidence session with Public Health Wales
I was just going to say that the University of California, Berkeley has done a lot of research in this field, and in terms of the impact that social media has on all generations, not just young people. But you're absolutely right—there are two of Maslow's…

Thanks, Chair. Just two brief additional questions. Firstly, in terms of future ways of working, portfolio working lifestyles obviously offer people an opportunity to have multiple jobs that provide a fulfilling lifestyle, but also they risk, increasingly…

Mental health inequalities: evidence session with Professor Carolyn Wallace, Wales School for Social Prescribing Research (WSSPR)
That's incredibly helpful, what you've just shared with us. We should perhaps take it then that, as things stand at the moment, there are no mechanisms, or there are insufficient mechanisms in place to share learning and good practice across Wales. And…
