SUMMARY:Conference: Beyond Them & Us\, Finding Common Ground
DESCRIPTION:Users & survivors of mental health services\, their families and carers and mental health workers are often seen as having opposing positions. Consequently\, opportunities for finding common ground\, developing authentic relationships\, and true allyship are rare.\n \nJoin us for this interactive and participatory conference where we’ll be using the innovative Trialogue approach to explore our differences and take the first steps to how we can work more effectively together to tackle the issues that matter most to us all: inadequate services\, inequality\, poverty\, discrimination and the wider factors underlying many people’s experiences of madness and distress. \n \nThe conference will be hosted by the extraordinary Dr Líam MacGabhann with support of the ISPS UK Committee and will include our Annual General Meeting on the same day.\n \n\n\nISPS UK members receive a whopping 40% discount to the published ticket prices\, please join as a member or contact us if you are already a member to request the discount code.\n \n\n\nYour ticket price includes lunch & refreshments throughout the day.\n \n\n\nFor details of our host\, all sessions/workshops and to purchase a ticket\, please visit our Eventbrite page: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/beyond-them-and-us-finding-common-ground-tickets-1237142639939\n \nPlease email events@ispsuk.org for any queries.

SUMMARY:Psychosis: Why Relationships Matter (ISPS UK Seminar & Annual General Meeting)
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to invite you to the Annual General Meeting of ISPS UK where we will be joined by three renowned guest speakers who will explore problems with the current paradigm and why relationships are crucial to social and psychologically informed approaches to ‘psychosis’. \nThe afternoon will begin with a series of exciting talks by Professor John Read\, Lisa Archibald and Dr Jacqui Dillon\, as we delve into why relationships matter for those living with the experience described as ‘psychosis’. We will explore the profound space between two individuals\, where connections are forged\, meaning is made\, and lives are transformed. How do these relationships happen within the context of mainstream services and how can we stay connected with people through crisis? \nOur three talks will be: \n• “How Diagnoses Keep People Apart” (Prof. John Read)\n• “First Do No Harm – Iatrogenic Harm in Mental Health” (Dr Jacqui Dillon)\n• “Intentional Peer Support – A relational approach to experiences that might get labelled as ‘psychosis’ ” (Lisa Archibald) \nThere will be an opportunity for some lively discussion with speakers and together we’ll explore the possibility of genuine collaboration in our work. \nThe Seminar will be followed at 3.30pm by the ISPS UK Annual General Meeting where you can learn more about our work this past year\, contribute to future decisions and discuss your thoughts/feedback with trustees. AGM papers will be circulated to members at least 14 days prior to the meeting. \nThis gathering provides us with the invaluable chance to come together\, share\, celebrate\, and collectively shape the path forward. We look forward to seeing you there. \nAttendance is free for ISPS UK members and we have a limited number of free places for LSBU students. Seminar tickets are £25 for non-members.

SUMMARY:Love\, Patience and Kindness: Working in Different Ways with 'Psychosis'
DESCRIPTION:The aim of this conference is to explore how we can support each other to improve services and experience across sectors\, with a dialogue between people with experience of psychosis\, their families and networks\, and those working with them in all kinds of different settings\, such as community projects\, mental health services\, charities\, individual therapists. \nAn innovation and exploration event from the Psychosis Health Integration Team\, in partnership with the International Society for Psychological and Social Approaches to Psychosis UK\, and Bristol Hearing Voices Network. Supported by Bristol Health Partners\, Bristol\, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board\, the Elizabeth Blackwell Institute\, and ISPS UK. \nWe will hear from people with different perspectives on working with ‘psychosis’\, including: \nJacqui Dillon – Writer\, Activist and Consultant \nDorothee Bonnigal-Katz – Founder and Clinical Director of the Psychosis Therapy Project \nJames Robinson – Peer Support Worker\, Bristol Early Intervention in Psychosis Team\, Co-Director Bristol Psychosis Health Integration Team (HIT) \nJess Pons – ISPS UK Trustee\, Psychotherapist\, and project manager for https://synergiproject.org.uk/ a racial justice and mental health programme hosted by National Survivor User Network (NSUN) \nConor McCormack – Bristol Psychoanalyst in private practice \nHanna Van Der Woude – NHS Clinical Psychologist\, Training Lead for Psychosis \nSimon Downer – NHS Psychiatrist and Psychotherapist\, ISPS UK Trustee and Co-Director Bristol Psychosis HIT \nThe current discourse in psychiatry and mental health creates groups of those who are mentally ill and those who are mentally healthy. It defines ‘recovery’ from psychosis as a reinsertion or reintegration into mainstream society. Psychotic ‘patients’ are seen as faulty in some way\, and those from whom others (the healthy) need protection. \nThis conference will speak to a different narrative: that life itself is problematic\, and we are all finding our own solutions to that. We hope to begin a dialogue that allows ‘psychosis’\, and the ways that people experience that\, to be seen as a particular way of negotiating life. We will hear each other’s voices\, and put ourselves in a position of trying to understand. \nIn this creative and interactive conference\, we will be able to consider how we might build networks to support and learn from each other. \nRegister here: ‘Love\, Patience and Kindness: Working in Different Ways with Psychosis’ Conference Tickets\, Tue 12 Sept 2023 at 9:30 | Eventbrite \nDownload: Love\, Patience and Kindness – conference flyer
