Catch up on @MadCovid’s Symposium / #MadMeetUp ‘The Second Wave’ right here!
TW: Suicide
@MadCovid held a special event on the 28.10.2020, featuring a survivor / lived experience panel to discuss the impact COVID19 has had on the mad community. As well as looking back, we also explored what mental health services and others can do to support us during the impending second 'wave' and any further lockdowns.
Our panellists included:
• Andrew Grundy, Service User Researcher @acgrundy
• Tamar Jeynes, Lived Experience Practitioner @tamar_whyte
• Nell Aitch, Mad Zine Maker and @MadCovid @NellAitch
• Hattie Porter, Student Occupational therapist, and Macmillan Cancer Support Worker @hat_teaa
The event also features personal testimonies from attendees and a message from Jo Edge about our Hardship Fund.
Thanks to Bethan Edwards @pixiegirle who hosted the event and Ellie Bradford who managed the event from behind the scenes and edited the video. This event was partially funded by an NSUN COVID19 grant and by the @MadCovid team themselves.
