Evolving Minds, aims to
provide a space to discuss, debate, share, learn value and
campaign for alternative and compassionate approaches to
emotional and mental health
Evolving Minds aims to increase the
understanding of emotional
wellbeing and mental health, and to give people the confidence to act
positively around these subjects. We believe there is no one superior
way of understanding these issues and hold the belief that each person
has wisdom and expertise that is valuable. This way, we challenge the
dominance of the medical model and advocate and campaign for
alternative compassionate and "radical" approaches to mental health and
the mental health system.
Evolving Minds meetings us usually
consist of: half an hour creative performance; an hour of talk and
discussion with a guest speaker, followed by smaller group discussions
with regular breaks for refreshments. Topics have included:
spirituality; nutrition; complementary therapies and creativity. Last
year Evolving minds also curated Bradford's first mad arts festival.
Evolving Minds is an independent and democratic group run by people who
use, have used and/or work in mental health services.
