'Open Dialogue in the NHS' Seminars - Trinity Arts Centre

'Open Dialogue in the NHS' Seminars - Trinity Arts Centre


February 7, 2017

Over the past three years there has been significant development of the Open Dialogue approach from Western Lapland in the NHS and in public mental health services internationally. Open Dialogue UK has been working for the past four years to further this development, and 10 trusts are now represented on one of their two training programmes (largely teams from Early Intervention in Psychosis and Crisis/Home Treatment services).

Over the course of 6 days in March 2017, a variety of NHS professionals, along with Nick Putman, founder of Open Dialogue UK, will be travelling across the UK to introduce the work that they are doing to develop the Open Dialogue approach. All of these practitioners are participating in one of the Open Dialogue UK training programmes. The following professions will be represented at this event, either in person, or via video footage: psychiatry, psychology, psychotherapy, nursing, social work and peer support.

The seminar will serve as an introduction to the Open Dialogue approach, the work that is being done in the NHS, and the trainings that are underpinning these developments. They are being run at a low cost in the hope that everyone who wishes to attend will be able to.

Building Bridges Conference

Building Bridges Conference


March 3, 2017

Building Bridges is a student-led organization and conference at Gustavus Adolphus College that focuses on educating and informing community members on issues relating to social justice, diversity, equity, inclusion, and intersectionality. The conference aims to educate the community through keynote speakers, a series of workshops and an interactive action piece. Past topics have included: grassroots movements, (2017), the war on drugs (2016), rape culture (2015), environmental justice (2014), and mass incarceration (2013).

This year’s conference themes is Mental Health: Exploring The Unacknowledged Civil Rights Journey. With this topic, we seek to explore and dismantle the stigma behind mental illness and discuss accessibility to quality mental health care in disadvantaged communities.

We are excited to welcome our keynote speakers, Leah Ida Harris, a mental health and trauma activist and Deborah Prothrow a public health leader for equal access to mental health care. Leah Ida Harris has been working to stop the perpetuation of harmful and traumatic practises in mental health. Her approach emphasizes the importance of people retaining dignity and the right to self determination. Deborah Prothrow-Stith focuses on disparities in access to care for racial minorities. She is an internationally recognized public health leader who since 2008 has advised top tier healthcare, life sciences, academic and not for profit institutions. She established the first Office of Violence Prevention in a state department of public health.

We look forward to seeing you at this year’s Building Bridges Conference, which will take place on March 3rd in Christ Chapel! Doors open at 9:00am!
