Compassionate Mental Health – Coming Home to Ourselves

Coming Home to Ourselves is a two day gathering  to explore alternative approaches for living and working with mental distress – set in Coed Hills in the heart of beautiful South Wales countryside near Cardiff. Arrive on Monday afternoon, and leave at 5pm on Wednesday – refreshed, recharged and having reconnected to our growing community.

The programme builds on on our core themes of connection, community and compassionate systems change.

Together we’ll explore new ways of thinking about service provision, and explore approaches that are based on mutual support, safety and democratic principles like the therapeutic community model. Together we’ll explore ways to care for ourselves and each other within our families, communities and workplaces. We’ll be moving away from labels that frame mental distress as disorders for life, and services that can be re-traumatising and cause more harm and good – imagining safe, healing services that people want to use when they are in crisis.
