MHSJ Network Open Meeting
Dear friends,
We write to tell you that we have postponed our Mental Health Social Justice Network open meeting to Friday 21 November (6.30-8.30pm) due to not wishing to clash with other events in London that evening. The meeting will be hybrid – in person at Birkbeck College and online on zoom.
In preparation for the meeting, we are inviting you to think about three areas of activity that we are inviting our input and participation in: other ways to care, storytelling and network building. This will form the basis for our programme in the coming year – see more detail here.
You can email thoughts and proposals to [email protected] and soon we will have an open padlet. Please feel free to also just come along on the night.
‘Reflections on a day’ by Lizzie Homersham
We also wanted to share this piece ‘reflections on a day’ by network member Lizzie H, about our June conference hosting the delegation from Trieste. the experience and implications for our health and practices here. If you have a refection you’d like to share – either for our feedback or for publication on our website do email us.
