A massive earthquake that struck central Japan on New Year's Day has now claimed 215 lives in Ishikawa Prefecture. Fourteen people who evacuated to safety are now believed to have died from causes related to the disaster. Medical experts warn the figure could increase due to poor sanitary conditions in shelters. A survey has found that caregivers at facilities for the elderly and people with disabilities are working under extreme stress following the earthquake. One facility said only ten percent of its staff are able to come to work, and that some employees have been working since New Year's Day. Episode notes: https://barrierfreejapan.com/2024/01/13/after-the-quake-concerns-rise-for-service-users-and-staff-at-ishikawa-care-facilities/

Welcome to episode 122 [originally broadcast on Wednesday 26 April 2023] of #mhTV​​​​​​​​. This week Vanessa Gilmartin and Nicky Lambert spoke with guests Dan Warrender & Stephen Williams about Reclaiming Mental Health Nurse Education: What It Should and Could Look Like and How To Get There. DW - Dan Warrender wanted to be a singer/songwriter, but has the voice of a warthog and has been more successful as a mental health nurse and lecturer. After 3 years working in an acute inpatient unit, he stumbled into academia, and has taught mental health nursing for the last 9 years. He has engaged in clinical practice throughout that time, and continues to provide 1-1 mentalization based therapy both privately and through an honorary contract with the NHS. He started his PhD the day Donald Trump was elected and still isn't finished, but he's getting there, exploring experiences of crisis intervention for people diagnosed with ‘borderline personality disorder'. Several publications have covered topics such as crisis intervention, risk, ‘personality disorder', mentalization, human rights, alcohol use, spirituality and mental health in film. He has been very vocal raising concerns about the direction of mental health nurse education, and in a keynote in 2022 described mental health nursing as becoming a ghost profession, with inadequate mental health content for future mental health nurses. SW - Steve Williams is currently an Assistant Professor in Mental Health Nursing at the University of Bradford where he has led and contributed to the delivery of Mental Health Nurse Education Pre-Registration and Post-Registration Programmes for the past 13 years. A registered Mental Health Nurse since 2001 Steve has been a community mental health nurse specialist and clinical nurse specialist in the NHS before venturing into Academic and research roles. As a clinician he specialised in delivering psychological therapies for people with "severe mental health conditions" drawing upon his prior education in Psychology and his advanced education in Psychological interventions as a Nurse Therapist. His academic career has included - leading the co-production of a Wellbeing Academy or "Recovery College" in 2016-2018 delivered by Clinicians and Service Users at the University - the first of its kind in the UK. The co-production of a Conference on Madness - the Big Mad Experience with students, service users and staff in 2013. He published an Autoethnographic volume on Psychosis - "Recovering from Psychosis: Empirical Evidence and Lived Experience" with Routledge in 2016, and co-edited the Critical Mental Health Nursing Networks first volume - "Critical Mental Health Nursing - Observations from the Inside" with PCCS-Books in 2018. He is currently working on further publications on Mental Health Nursing Practice that embrace critical and autoethnographical approaches. Steve says that his passion is for "disrupting the status-quo of nursing clinical practice and educational practice drawing from his personal experience of services, service delivery, epistemic injustice and prejudice as a person with lived experience".

Description:This week's installment features the musical and poetic talents of Able Arts Work, San Diego's Service Users in their Collaborative Episode Who I Am Inside, A Tale as Old as Time.  The first piece Musical Poetry Collage was created in Music Therapy Community.  The students explored components of songs that sooth them and bring a sense of comfort.  Then, they each shared a favorite soothing song with their peers, processed verbally and selected two favorite lines that were synthesized into an original poem.  Finally, the students created an original meditative backing track using loops in Logic and recorded instruments.  If you listen carefully, you may hear familiar quotes from some of your favorite songs as well as Chinese instruments like a Dizi and Guzheng, electric and bass guitars, and an ocean disk.  The second piece is an original poem written by Service User, Sarah Shaw titled, Inside Wins.  Sarah is excited to share words that inspire others to see their full potential and embrace who they are inside.  We hope you enjoy listening and find inspiration of your own!

If you make it past that, you have to face me on stage for a rap battle, where I will destroy you and your water balloons.  Narrator: The superheroes turned towards each other to make a plan.

Dr Mark Wilberforce on what service users want from mental health social workers

Wayne Reid is an anti-racism visionary for the British Association of Social Workers (BASW). Over the last year, in light of the murder of George Floyd, and resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement, Wayne has taken action to address racism in social work. His experiences as a Black male social worker means he understands some of the challenges that children and families, and practitioners, from different minority groups can face.  In this episode, Wayne shares his thoughts on how we, as social workers, can challenge and hold ourselves, our teams and employers, to account when it comes to being anti-racist. He talks about the work he is most proud of to date, and the wider impact he hopes to make as an anti-racism visionary.

We do another deep dive into Dr. Ioan Durnescu's Core Correctional Skills Training Kit in this episode! Specifically, the concept of Pro Social Modelling.  Not just identifying and rewarding of pro-social behavior and attitudes, but also challenging of anti-social behaviors and the importance of the probation officer being a role model.

The centre provides a specialised individual programme on one of 3 core strands: Skills4Stability, Skills4Life or Skills4Me. Service Users have a personalised individual plan that is tailored to meet their specific needs. NCBI takes a varied approach to providing day opportunities by aiming to be in the heart of the local community, ensuring that service users have the widest choice and options about how to live their lives and how to spend their time. On this webinar you'll find out all about the Iona Resource Centre, how their model of service delivery changed overnight during Covid-19 and, we'll even take time for a bit of exercise as the Iona Resource Centre staff give us some top tips for staying fit at home!

With the Mental Health Commission's report outlining that many mental health patients are still being treated like 'second-class citizens' – and that in some cases residents are being admitted to 'outdated and unclean premises' without a meaningful care plan for recovery – are we doing enough to provide supports for those among the most vulnerable in our society? Are our mental health services up to scratch? And are people being put off seeking treatment? On Friday, Gavin spoke with Spanish Point native Grace Harrison, a Psychotherapist and Counsellor who works in Ennis and elsewhere.

In this month's catch up Derek Munn of the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists, discusses the RCSLT response around Black Lives Matter; workstreams around Covid-19; matters happening around the four nations of the UK and the importance of involving service users.
