AMHP programme leads

Last week a couple of us initiated a discussion amongst AMHP programme leads.  It was a great opportuhnity to start to share ideas and experiences.  Other people have also indicated their interest in being part of this in future and we will set another date for early next year with plenty of notice.

I have also requested a group on the Hub that people can join if they are responsible for AMHP programmes.  Hopefully this will be available soon.

Thanks to Jill Anderson and Bill…

Can anyone advise about setting up a web site

Apologies if this is an inappropriate request.  Can anyone suggest how I would begin to set up something like the MHHE Hub for a different group.  I am just not sure how to start and everything I look at, including Ning resources, costs money.

While madness, then, is included in university spaces, this inclusion proceeds in ways that continue to pathologize madness and disenfranchise mad people.
