Synergi Public Engagement Workshop


January 29, 2018

A narrated open-access photographic collection for ethnic minority people with lived experience of mental illness, their carers and health professionals.

We are bringing together all voices and views to co-produce the evidence on what drives ethnic inequalities in severe mental illness and how to reduce them, placing accounts of personal experiences at the heart of any analysis. We will be asking ethnic minority people with severe mental illnesses (by ‘severe mental illnesses’ we mean for example those who have psychosis-like symptoms and often, but not necessarily, get the diagnosis of schizophrenia) and their carers to develop their accounts by using photos that represent different aspects of their health and care experiences.
 
We will host workshops in which the stories in these photos will be enhanced through reflection and discussion, with the intention of marshalling evidence to improve care experiences and reduce inequalities. A narrated open-access photographic collection will showcase a selection of the photos (with the participants’ agreement) to display and communicate the realities of severe mental illness and treatment for mental illness as experienced by ethnic minority people.
 
We would like to hear from ethnic minority people (aged 16 or older) that have experiences of severe mental illness and its treatment as patients or carers.”
