'I Want To Speak Please'

Quilted banner, approx 4.5 x 1.5 metres.

Made for York Minds&Voices dementia support group.

All the quotes are from group members.

Each member chose their favourite colour and fabric. From these I cut the outlines of their raised hands.

They have so much to say, and deserve to be heard.

I miss my time with these amazing people.

My second first-author paper has just been published in the International Journal of Social Psychiatry. Open access link below.

In collaboration with #livedexperience advocates, we report the most salient priorities and concerns that arise from the day-to-day management of both depression and mania/hypomania in #bipolar disorder, as identified by #caregivers .

Just spent two hours educating 35 of catherine john-baptiste amazing BA Applied #SocialWork 2nd years at #University of Derby. This is the first time, with a little encouragement from Catherine, that I was open to questions throughout. I surprised myself by still keeping up the momentum of the presentation. With luck, I'll be back next year!

Today marks 4 years to the day since I was on The Victoria Derbyshire show with the fantastic Marta di Forti. I was asked about my own, personal reaction to #cannabis. #Psychosis is a crippling disease, as Dr Di Forti, Diego Quattrone & her South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust team well understand. They continue to conduct vital research into the condition & devise strategies & approaches for reducing its harmful effects on sufferers.

#LivedExperience

New server, new #introduction :
I joined Mastodon in November and am enjoying the slow pace of conversations, the serendipity of exploring an unoptimised feed, and all the greenery, truth-speaking and general nerding out!

I mistakenly assumed that my wonderful follows would come with me when I moved, so I didn't write them down, but c'est la vie, I'll start with follow-backing.

I am interested in #Theology #Science #Poetry #ClimateJustice #SciFi #Songwriting #Christianity #LivedExperience

This video (10 mins) shows what a typical meeting of Minds and Voices is like.

It was made as part of the 10th anniversary celebrations for the DEEP (Dementia Engagement and Empowerment Project) Network.

I'm very proud that they chose to include the banner I made for them in the video.

"But just because there isn’t a one-size-fits-all method to practice feminism doesn’t mean we should force all women to adhere to one type of feminism out of convenience. And the same goes for transgender discourse. And until I see changes happen, white trans America is not for me."

@marzours
perhaps you are not aware of the Peer Movement? I trained in 2017 to become a Peer Specialist here [ https://www.communityaccess.org/our-work/educationajobreadiness/howie-the-harp ]
I use my lived-experience to support other people as part of and outside of the psychiatry system. People in Amsterdam came to the US and created a local model of this school. [ https://www.howietheharp.nl/ ]

Now I’ve been around for a month, I think I should expand on my #introduction a bit.
Seems I toot a lot about #smallholding and very little about #LivedExperience (specifically #PPIE and #CoCreation in research). On reflection, it’s because I am still a bit burned by bird place, but I’m very much interested in hanging out in those spaces.
My #UnpaidCarer life is complicated but essential and it’s part of who I am, not something I ‘do’. Social media lets me socialise when real life doesn’t!

I'm leading an #ArtsAndHealth project about #ChronicPain at Trinity Laban, London

We're looking for people living with chronic pain to take part in a consultation about their #LivedExperience and the potential role of the #arts and #creativity in #painmanagement

There will be an online (16 Jan) and in-person consultation (22 Jan)

If you would like to share your thoughts and insights register here: shorturl.at/biyOU or email Jasmine Wilson for more information: J.Wilson@trinitylaban.ac.uk

I am a fierce advocate for witnessing the individuals lived experience. We don’t all have the same experience of the same moments and denying that can be harmful and damaging.

Mass shooting at Club Q in Colorado Springs.

My partner moved to Colorado this year. As a foreigner, I had always conceptualized the state as rather progressive, so I didn't believe him when he told me it's homophobic.

I don't like the Appeal to Lived Experience because people are so often unreliable narrators of their own realities but incidents like this certainly make me question my position. At least, Lived Experience is a cue to investigate a matter further.

#ClubQ #ColoradoSprings #Colorado #homophobia #LivedExperience #philosophy

I’m a full time #carer so I’m generally having to fight for things that should be universal rights, which takes up a surprising amount of time - and all other interests are squeezed around or related to that!
Work is all things #LivedExperience perspectives and especially getting these to shape research.
Life in the gaps is mostly being a totally novice #smallholder, a guardian of many animals and a pretty decent cocktail maker.

Many people with SMIs, especially #psychosis, feel left out of #MentalHealth & #SuicidePrevention campaigns

This is why Im proud to have been able to use my #LivedExperience as part of this project.
We need to be able to talk about #MentalIllness & #suicide
I hope that this project can be a starting point for these vital conversations

Our first online film shoeing and Q&A is next week
