September Newsletter

Dear Friends,
Following HT IV many might still be thinking about brain shrinkage after listening to what Dr Moncrieff shared with us or hopefully are practising some of the remedy that have been mentioned during an amazing participation of an avid and enthusiastic public. Hopefully FEEL we'll be able to invite Dr Moncrieff again in the future, but for the time being we would like to share the notes of her talk with those that were unable to join us on 30/07. Please note that there could be inaccuracies in them, they're not verbatim. Many thanks to Michael and Charlotte for the collection.

Next November FEEL will turn 3. We would like to plan a new event that not only celebrates FEEL third birthday, but that aims to celebrate all survivors and the best ways used to manage/maintain mental health. For some this might be a therapy, a diet, a type of exercise, a faith, or perhaps dedication to poetry, music and the arts...you'll name it!
Seeing that the only evidence Psychiatry seems to consider is the use of drugs, which does very well in keeping people hooked to them for life on top of leaving the poor souls with their original problems, a "WAY OUT" should be introduced. Lets gather "scientific evidence" for them on one night of madness :)
Big Pharma is NOT welcome!

What certainly many agree on is that "Recovery begins with NON-Compliance" (Mad Hatters of Bath).

Please, join us at our monthly meeting next Monday on the 20/09 where we'll take suggestions for our Autumn celebration and some of the events to take place for Mental Health week in October. We will have a 15 min presentation from Nelsy Cristancho "General Conclusions to My Self Research Therapy Process". We'd also like to discuss the rumours of welfare cuts.

Last but not least I would like to invite you to sign a petition. There are lots of people that still need to get educated about mental health and the police force still seems to hold brutal and ignorant elements amongst their staff, which are definitely not able to handle vulnerable people http://www.gopetition.co.uk/petition/38029.html

Here are the dates for the next FEEL meetings for this year, which will be as usual held on the third Monday of each month @ The LARC Centre, 62 Fieldgate Street, Whitechapel E1 1ES 6.30-8.30pm.
