Creating new approaches to Mental Health in Tower Hamlets

Thursday 30th June / 11.00am - 4.30pm

Queen Marys University, Rehearsal Room 2 space (Arts 1 Building) Mile End Road campus, London, E1 4NS

In recent months Tower Hamlets VCS stakeholders who provide mental health support to their communities have taken part in a series of workshops aimed exploring the value and difficulties of their work. Supported by academics from the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry and the School English and Drama at Queen Mary, University of London, they have used creative inquiry to discuss the challenges they and their clients face and think through possible actions that will ensure their work is more effective and satisfying.

To this end, we would like to invite you to participate in a study day on 30th June. During the day the stories developed in the workshops will be performed. After this a series of facilitated discussions and exercises will explore how statutory mental health providers might support the proposed actions and collaborate with these essential organisations more effectively in the future.
