About the Event
in2gr8mentalhealth CIC will be speaking about what it is like to navigate becoming a mental health professional when you have lived / ing experience of mental health difficulties, and things that may support you in this. We are interested in looking into how stigma, power and priviledge operate in the systems around us and shape our experiences for the better or the worse.
We will be speaking into our own experiences, into assumptions, hopes and fears around the topic, including the work we do to demystify 'fitness to practice' fear and the strange idea that having mental health difficulties means that one cannot be a mental health professional. We are hoping to remind people to re-humanise the mental health workforce, and challenge systems to flex around the mental health needs of human beings without stigma, as they encounter life during their careerspan.
