<H2 CLASS="MsoNoSpacing"><SPAN>How can mental health services be more supportive of LGBT+ identities? Is it time to do away with psychiatric diagnoses altogether and start treating people as individuals - according to our strengths, as well as our needs? Can love really heal us?</SPAN></H2>
<H2><SPAN>Those are just some of the questions we'll explore at this intimate evening of conversation and reflection with Edinburgh based poet and writer Jo McFarlane and and LGBT Health's Alison Wren, as they discuss Jo's 'wide ranging and beautifully written' (Kirsten Maclean, CAPS Advocacy) new book <EM><STRONG>Transcending The Ghetto: reflections on mental health policy, practice and lived experience.</STRONG></EM></SPAN></H2>
<H2><SPAN>Copies of the book will be available to buy, priced £7 each. </SPAN></H2>
<H2>Doors are open from 6pm with tea/coffee/water available.  </H2>
