Booking and Full Program Details
Changing the Script is our seventh Compassionate Mental Health gathering. As with our previous events, we are bringing together a wide cross section of people with a shared interest in transforming the way we live and work with mental health crises and distress.
Changing the Script takes place on Monday 11th November 2019 at The Left Bank, Hereford.
This one-day gathering is an opportunity to explore alternative approaches for living and working with mental distress. We’ll look together at how we can create spaces for people to experience suffering and joy – spaces that are safe, compassionate and balance open-hearted, non-hierarchical relationships with wise boundaries.
What’s it about?
Experiential events designed to inform, inspire and empower people living and working with mental distress.
Who’s it for?
Anyone curious about a fresh approach, including people and families with personal experience of mental distress, frontline staff, commissioners, managers, clinicians, policymakers and Third Sector staff.
Who’s speaking?
We bring together influential speakers and facilitators who are passionate about changing the script around mental health, challenging stigma and raising expectations.
