Friday 10th October brings us World Mental Health Day 2014.
This years theme is 'Living with Schizophrenia' & provides a great opportunity to take on the misunderstandings, the myths, & the stigma attached to this debilitating illness.
As we move towards the second anniversary of the 'Abandoned Illness' report by the Schizophrenia Commission (November 2012), we will have the chance to see whether their shattering findings & specific recommendations have resulted in any meaningful improvements in the care & treatment offered to those who experience this severe, often isolating, condition.
Through the personal experience of folk who make up our social groups & activities, MSM will be gearing-up to engage with this years theme in a full & heartfelt manner - updates will appear on the MSM website (& here, but, as you can see, sporadically!) If you have any ideas &/or would like to get actively involved get in touch.
