I will speak about in2gr8mentalhealth as a space where mental health professionals come together to share, and stand up for, the common and meaningful experience of psychological distress to humanity.
To destigmatise vulnerability in the professions, to own this and not to 'other'
To hold in mind a powerful view where it is understood that all of us can suffer and fear, but challenging times can bring forth strength and growth in both personal wisdom and professional development.
That there need be no shame, and that where shame is perpetuated in organisations, this must be challenged.
Looking forward to a bright and lively festival as a part of my own mental health recovery.
