We’d like to invite you to our third Gathering Peer Voices. This event is open to Edinburgh's Peer Workers, Peer Volunteers and all people interested in mental health, recovery & lived experience, who would like to learn about and contribute their views on how we can strengthen peer practice and improve mental health support in Edinburgh. It takes place on Wednesday 16 March 10am-1pm. It will primarily be over Zoom. There will also be options to join using Teams as we realise that some of our NHS and Council colleagues are not always able to access Zoom at work.
Louder Than Words Our theme for this gathering will be Louder Than Words and workshops and conversations will focus on how we can all take action to enable change. We will have opportunities to learn about and reflect upon the actions already being taken by peer workers and their co-workers in Edinburgh; the role and history of service user activism in Edinburgh; what is happening beyond Edinburgh, and much more!
Timings The gathering will be broken up into 3 sessions. If you are not able to attend all three, you are welcome to come along to the parts that you can manage. Signups for workshops will be sent out towards the end of February but so that you can plan before then, the timings for Gathering Peer Voices will be – 10–10.25am Welcome and update on The Peer Community and Peer Work 10.30-11.15am Workshops (details and sign up will be late February) 11.15-11.30am Break 11.30am-1pm Small group conversations on questions related to taking action
