Mental Health and Distress: Collaborative Curriculum Development

I am writing to invite you to the above symposium, organised by the Mental Health in Higher Education project in conjunction with the Higher Education Academy.  It will be held on 12-13 June 2013 at Lancaster University.
 
This two day event will introduce the Curriculum Guide on Mental Health and Distress, debate its contents and explore how it can be used to enhance learning and teaching on qualifying programmes in social work.  We aim to inspire and support effective practice in learning and teaching about mental health.
 
The symposium - attendance at which is by invitation only - is aimed at those involved in the design and delivery of qualifying social work curricula and will include people with a range of experience including teaching, learning, lived experience of mental distress, research and mental heath practice.  There will be opportunities for us all to learn, to reflect on how the learning of others can be supported, to debate and to share resources and experience.
 
We aim to introduce a variety of learning tools (books, films, podcasts, digital stories etc) and to explore a range of approaches (book groups, online forums, social media etc).  Acceptance of our invitation implies your willingness to engage with some of this material in advance of the symposium and to come prepared to share resources that have supported your own learning and/or that you use in teaching.  The symposium will result in a collection of learning and teaching resources linked to the Curriculum guide.
 
We consider relationships to be key to mental health practice, aim to show how they have been central to the planning of this symposium, and believe that the quality of our relationships - as participants - will determine what emerges from it.
 
The symposium will start with lunch on Wednesday 12 June and end at 4pm on Thursday 13 June.  This is a free event.  All costs (with the exception of travel expenses) will be covered.

Please let us know as soon as possibleif you would like to accept our invitation to attend this symposium: j.anderson@lancater.ac.uk.  If you do plan to attend, then we will be in touch with further details and pre-reading.

Unlearning through Mad Studies: disruptive pedagogical praxis

Posted by Jill Anderson on October 26, 2020 at 19:00 0 Comments

Medical discourse currently dominates as the defining framework for madness in educational praxis. Consequently, ideas rooted in a mental health/illness binary abound in higher learning, as both curriculum content and through institutional procedures that reinforce structures of normalcy. While madness, then, is included in university spaces, this inclusion proceeds in ways that continue to pathologize madness and disenfranchise mad people.

This paper offers Mad…
