Talk about a strong start @In2gr8mh!
In conversation with #mentalhealthstigma researcher with #livedexperience, Patrick Corrigan:
“I think one of the best things to happen in the last 10-15 years in mental health is peer support.”
Also check out 10:50-11:30 on the effect of the “us and them” on outcomes for people accessing services.
...and 15:09-16:10 on "The Clinician's Illusion" in mental health and it's impact on how we perceive the possibility of people living their best lives.
And 16:30-17:20 on the positive effects of #peersupport workers in mental health teams in changing stigmatising behaviours of some staff and the conversation around #livedexperience as part of life's journey.
And 18:50-19:40 on the difference between sharing lived experience in peer support relationships and sharing lived experience in "helping" or therapy relationships.
And 22:25-23:55 on the culture shift happening in young people entering #mentalhealth professional training programs with regard to sharing #livedexperience:
"It's definitely getting better."
"#Stigma is evolving.
The secret to changing it is not a bunch of experts [...] saying this is a brain disorder.
The secret is the people you are interviewing coming out and telling their story of #recovery...
...there's a reason to be hopeful and a reason to demand change"
