BACK TO BASICS // REPORT

We hope the resulting Adverse Behaviours in Clinicians (ABC-11) checklist will help decrease harm & improve outcomes.

'We used a domestic violence resource which identifies harmful interpersonal behaviours in relationships. It described how we'd often felt treated by mental health practitioners & we wanted to see if other people had a similar experience'.

‘[…] it is crucial to recognise that vulnerable people relying on mental health services are at significant risk of harm due to adverse practitioner behaviours.’

Just received a contributor email from @AsylumMagUK since my art has been used again in the upcoming issue. This time paired with a very good article about the not alone collective who have done fantastic work researching abuse in mental health settings.

@psychmag I think the line you have chosen to highlight doesn't quite convey the real message and encourages people to bury their head in the sand.
"I’m not advocating censorship. I’m not advocating that people avoid the news"
~ Dr Silver
The Truth to Power exhibition explores how the mental health industry has been used to maintain societal norms rather than challenge the status quo so everyone can lead healthy, meaningful and fulfilled lives.
At Summerlee Museum until 22 Oct.

I asked autistic people and ADHDers what they find hard about therapy and what adjustments would help. Out of over 800 responses, these were the most common replies and themes.👇🏻
Thank you to @rrowanolive, @aiws6 and Common Threads Press for letting us display their valuable zines 💕
We hope @Dear_GP don't mind we included theirs too!
