Survivors

The next meeting of the Survivors History Group is on Wednesday
28.5.2014 at 1pm at Together, 12 Old Street, London. EC1V 9BE
Everyone is very welcome.

The agenda will be drawn up at the meeting (as usual), but will
probably include a report from Peter Campell on his research. Peter
Barham and Thurstine Basset will lead a discussion of art and mental
health in relation to Vincent van Gogh (in particular) and art and
mental health in any other way we chose. Sheila Beskine may be able
to help us explore the richnesss of different ways of communicating.

Andrew Roberts plans to get food and drink in for the meeting as
usual and we are hoping that the usual surprises will also be
pleasant ones (as they usually are).

If anyone has ideas about what international survivors we could focus
on at a forthcoming conference on the international survivor
movement, please bring them along. Vincent van Gogh has already been
thought of (-: The present themes and issues list is

The functions are the same - as an independent monitor of how patient and public involvement in health is working with the addition of looking at how LINks will be set up (if they indeed are set up at all). This blog will be used for comments on current activities and developments closely allied to the website. As soon as the site is up and running I'll provide a link. Activities have extended further since ppeyes was taken off line (because it was criticising a government department - more later) in September 2005. I'm now active in service user campaigning and, being a disabled National Health Service User myself, in disability rights.

Appeal for Users' ATOS Stories

Mental Health Resistance Network: Judicial Review  Members of the Mental Health Resistance Network (MHRN) have been working with a solicitor towards making a claim for a Judicial Review of the Work Capability Assessment (WCA) which is the assessment used to determine whether we will be granted Employment Support Allowance or sent back to work (if there is any work to be found!). MHRN are just focussing on people who claim on mental health grounds.   MHRN are now at a critical stage in this process as they are very close to being able to make the claim for Judicial Review.
