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

SUMMARY:ISPS UK Webinar: Staff Relationships with Antipsychotics
DESCRIPTION:  \nOur series of three webinars\, Relationships with Anti-Psychotics\, continues on 13 July with Staff Relationships with Antipsychotics. \nWhat are the ethical dilemmas and personal conflicts that people working in mental health services face in relation to antipsychotic medications?  Simon Downer\, ISPS UK Trustee\, will Chair this webinar which will be a dialogue where health care professionals share their own experiences of inpatient and community work in relation to antipsychotics. How do psychiatrists learn to think with patients about medications? How do personal beliefs influence staff practice? Do healthcare professionals struggle with using medications? How are issues of power addressed in relation to antipsychotics? These and other questions will be explored by a panel of people working in psychiatry. The attendees will be invited to participate in the discussion. \nRegistration and more information \nRegistration is free for ISPS members\, please enter the promo code “Member” when registering.  Registration is via Eventbrite at  Relationships with Antipsychotics: Staff Relationships with Antipsychotics Tickets\, Thu 13 Jul 2023 at 18:30 | Eventbrite
