More people are talking about mental health than ever before. This public discussion will explore how we can find more compassionate language to communicate about these issues, and how better vocabulary could influence policy and practice in health services.
All attendees will be welcome to contribute to this open discussion, including our guest invitees:
Miriam Avery, trained as a mental health nurse, she had experiences working with children and young people, particularly those with difficulties which are experienced in both mind and body.
Lisa Lorenz, founder and editor of Nous Magazine
Darren Adcock, artist and member of Mad Pride, Manchester Disabled People Against Cuts and Recovery In The Bin.
Ian Parker, President of College of Psychoanalysts and Editorial Collective for Asylum Magazine.
This is a free event for students and unwaged people. For waged attendees, there is a £4 reservation fee to secure a place, which includes a free drink.
