Complex Mental Health Network AGM:
COVID 19– A Spotlight on Our Shared Vulnerability and What This Means for Mental Health
Complex Mental Health Network AGM:
Wednesday 7th October 10.30 – 12.00
‘COVID 19– A spotlight on our shared vulnerability and what this means for mental health.’ Isabel Clarke and Iris Benson
A mental health crisis is predicted in the wake of the pandemic. Look at it another way: the pandemic has shed a spotlight on our common vulnerability. Labelling some people as mentally ill and others as well can obscure this.
The webinar will focus on the opportunities this perspective offers to value the things really important to us, and to face uncertainty with acceptance and awareness in the present.
