Enhancing learning and teaching about mental health across the disciplines
Here is the challenge: Do one or more of the following. . .
- briefly answer the question: 'what brings you here?' Say something about why you are a member of the hub, for example, or a particular query you would like an answer to. . .
- share a blog post. You might, for example, say something about the teaching you are involved with, or a resource you have found helpful. . .
- add an event that you think may be of interest to others.
- post a photo: this can be any image, but you might consider sharing one that you make use of in your teaching. . .
You can do all of these from the links on the home page - under 'latest activity'. NB You have to register, as a member of the mhhehub, first.
Hello Jill,
Further to your March challenge I continue to blog about Hodges' model a reflective resource.
Since 2014 I have been studying part-time at Lancaster Educational Research - specifically Technology Enhanced Learning.
Having almost completed Part 1 I am having a break in order to prepare for Part 2. This will involve creating a new website.
I'm planning to use Drupal the content management system.
Always keen to link up with people, present the model and help to publicise your events / publications.
I'm attending Networked Learning conference in Lancaster in May if anyone is also attending and hope to attend Stockholm in August for a workshop on Conceptual Spaces.
The community here may find the content on 'Welcome to the QUAD' of interest(?):
http://hodges-model.blogspot.co.uk/
I know 'models of care' seem to recall other times but this model has legs as well as relevance :-)
I'm also on twitter @h2cm and LinkedIn.
Many thanks Jill for the constant stream of fascinating content you put our way!
Kind regards,
Peter Jones

Many thanks for posting this Peter. I too am on the doctoral programme in educational research at Lancaster - though without the focus on Technology Enhanced Learning. Will be interested to hear more about the website. Am sure that the Hodges Model link you've posted will be of interest to others on here. Best wishes, Jill PS You may be interested in CCrAMHP (Critical and Creative Approaches to Mental Health Practice) that meets regularly in Lancaster. See: http://www.ccramhp.org.uk/

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…
