Last Monday Tim Teeling, the Pembrokeshire Mental Health Development Officer at West Wales Action for Mental Health , travelled up to Mid Wales to join us for our regular monthly team meeting. We had invited him to talk to us about an innovative project he set up for WWAMH on Spirituality and Recovery in Mental Health .  Our team had made a trip down to Carmarthen and WWAMH HQ earlier this year to find out more about the organisation’s work generally .  We discovered TONIC for surfing, watched the Recovery Wall Project and heard a veteran’s story, but the day just raced by – they have so much exciting stuff going on down there! And we ran right out of time to pick up more than a passing hint at Tim’s work.  It was enough to whet our appetite to find out more, however, and so here is a taste of what we enjoyed on Monday. Beginnings Tim was originally inspired to set up the Spirituality project for WWAMH about four years ago when he became aware that whilst much had been wr...

Diane Hart, volunteer and member at Ponthafren Association , a mental health charity in North Powys, writes our guest blog post this week.  Hi! My name is Diane and I have been a member of Ponthafren for five years now. When I first attended I was in a very bad place in my head, I couldn't see the point in anything. It has only been recently that I have been able to see a future. My Community Psychiatric Nurse thought it would give me something to do and a reason to carry on. For a very, very long time I was very shy. At first I just hid behind the laptop, which as a member I had use of, and I only spoke to people when I was spoken to. I still hide behind it sometimes but it is more of a safety blanket rather than a protective shield. Slowly over time I joined in some art and craft classes which gave me a reason to attend Ponthafren. Back then they were not accredited so the number of people who attended didn't matter, which was a good thing because there were not many who wer...

Saturday 10 October 2015 is World Mental Health Day , which is organised by the Mental Health Foundation in partnership with the World Federation of Mental Health and the World Health Organisation . This year’s theme is Dignity in Mental Health. The MHF states: “We believe that effectively supporting people experiencing mental health problems is on target to become one of the greatest public health challenges of our time. Stigmatising and discriminatory treatment can be particularly distressing when a person is experiencing a health crisis. We all have mental health, and by failing to treat people with mental health problems with dignity we make it more difficult to ensure that everyone takes steps to safeguard their wellbeing and to seek help, as it can lead to self-stigma, low confidence, low self-esteem, withdrawal and social isolation.” The World Federation for Mental Health has published a collection of papers  under the heading "Dignity in Mental Health" from "ex...

A couple of weeks ago our guest blogger, Anne Watmough, went along to this London conference -  More Harm Than Good: Confronting the Psychiatric Medication Epidemic , organised by the Council for Evidence Based Psychiatry (CEP) .  The CEP website reports:  "Global leaders in the critical psychiatry movement met for a one-day conference to address an urgent public health issue: the iatrogenic harm caused by the over-prescription of psychiatric medications." Anne kindly sent in a review of her experience of the day - read on. I set out on Thursday the day before the conference at 9 o'clock in the morning and boarded the bus direct to London. My journey took five and a half hours. But I didn't mind as the coach was very comfortable. I arrived at my small hotel to find my room cosy and spotlessly clean. I had a nice meal that evening at a Moroccan restaurant on King Street. The next morning I rose early and went out to have a full English breakfast at a nice cafe. Where...
