Compassionate Mental Health: from Isolation to Connection

A one day conference exploring the power of peer and network approaches to mental distress. A chance for a more in depth look at Open Dialogue, a compassionate approach that was developed in Western Lapland in Finland. Also an opportunity to hear about work that has been pioneered by peers in New York, and how by focusing less on the individual and more on the networks around the person experiencing the crisis – deeper, more lasting change can happen.

It’s aimed at: 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.

Speakers: influential speakers and facilitators who are passionate about changing the script around mental health, challenging stigma and raising expectations, including Sarah Stone, Tommy Holgate and Brigid Bowen.

Venue: Kingsley Hall, London
