10.00 - 15.00
Drammen, Papirbredden 1
The Centre for Mental health and Substance Abuse welcomes national and international speakers such as Rolf Sundet and David Harper from Norway and the UK who will present alternative perspectives on recovery in mental health. Presentations will be followed by plenary discussions and panel debates that will explore the connections between different views of recovery in the context of rapidly changing welfare politics.
The seminar is the second in a series of discussions considering political controversies, power struggles and contestation of recent developments of democracy, participation and inclusion in mental health. In line with the first seminar on participation that took place at the University of Essex in January 2020, this seminar focuses on the often subtle or at times strained relations between different stakeholders in the context of recovery in mental health. These tensions have led to a situation where there is no one agreed on definition of what recovery is or should be.
We thus invite service users, user organizations, policy makers, professionals and researchers who have an interest in discussing and deepening our understanding of the concept of recovery in mental health or drug-related contexts.
