Peace, Love, and Justice: Healing Black, Brown, Indigenous, and Diverse CommunitiesPeace, Love, and Justice: Healing Black, Brown, Indigenous, and Diverse Communities – ree Webinar presented by Surviving Race: The Intersection of Injustice, Disability, and Human Rights
Since January 1, 2015, there have been 5,403 fatal police shootings, according to a Washington Post database. Studies show that as many as 50 percent of people killed by American police had registered disabilities and that a huge percentage of those were people with mental health conditions. And African Americans are at even higher risk due to the racism in our country and in our police forces.
In this webinar, Celia Brown and Braunwynn Franklin—representing Surviving Race: The Intersection of Injustice, Disability, and Human Rights—will focus on peace, healing, and justice, and how people with disabilities can fight injustice. The webinar will feature a discussion of statistics, and highlight practical strategies to dismantle systemic racism.

VIRTUAL EVENT: First Justice, then Pills: Re-imagining Global Mental Health in the Time of COVIDVIRTUAL EVENT: First Justice, then Pills: Re-imagining Global Mental Health in the Time of COVID – About the lecture: From the outset of the COVID pandemic, there have have been calls for attention to the mental health impacts of the crisis. Fears of a 'Tsunami' of psychiatric needs have pushed nations and perhaps the world, to prioritise mental health responses. This creates an opportunity for us to build mental health systems in ways that better respond to multiple pathways to distress, particularly those anchored to social inequalities. This talk presents a model for a political economy of global mental health in a time of COVID, that enables the development of mental health enabling communities (Burgess, 2013; Burgess & Matthias, 2017) at scale. About the SpeakerDr Rochelle BurgessDeputy Director, University College London Centre for Global Non-Communicable Diseases at UCL Dr Rochelle Burgess is a Lecturer in Global Health with the Institute for Global Health at UCL. She is a leading community health psychologist who specialises in the social and political economy of mental health. She employs qualitative, participatory and life history methods to use lived experiences to inform the design, development, and evaluation of health interventions VIRTUAL EVENT: First Justice, then Pills: Re-imagining Global Mental Health in the Time of COVID MIA Online Parent Support Groups: Parents of Children 19+, U.S./CanadaMIA Online Parent Support Groups: Parents of Children 19+, U.S./Canada – 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm, U.S. Mountain Time

NCMHR Free Webinar: Using Lived Experience to Navigate Crises as a ClinicianNCMHR Free Webinar: Using Lived Experience to Navigate Crises as a Clinician – Mental health clinicians are frequently in a position to navigate crises with individuals who are struggling with thoughts of suicide, self-harm, intense emotional distress, confusion, and/or threats of violence and abuse from others. These experiences can be frightening for everyone involved, and professionals are not immune to these fears. Most training in this area, if there is any, involves guidance on assessment and containment, which can be helpful with triage but may not always be what the individual needs most. This webinar offers suggestions on how clinicians might be able to navigate these difficult situations with a larger toolbox, namely one that includes the perspectives of those who have been there. The presenter, Noel Hunter, is a clinical psychologist who also has personal lived experience. She will cover both research-based and her own experiences of integrating peer-informed approaches into clinical work. NCMHR Free Webinar: Using Lived Experience to Navigate Crises as a Clinician |
