We would like to invite you to attend a re-introduction event for the Centre for Mental Health and Human Rights.
11:00 -12:00, Tuesday 29^th October in A07 at the Institute of Mental Health, Jubilee Campus. 

The Centre examines the intersection of mental health with human rights and has completed work in developing inexpensive and pragmatic responses to mental distress. More information on the Centre can be found here.

Professor Peter Barlett has done an outstanding job leading the Centre in past years and has decided to take a well-earned step back. Professor Ralph Sandland and Dr Grace Carter who are based at the School of Law have been appointed as the new co-directors. They are inspired by and have great respect for the research already supported by the Centre and are keen to build on the work already done to support and inspire members in their research. 

This meeting aims to bring current and prospective members together to re-introduce the Centre, its work, what it can offer individuals and other research groups/centres and how to get involved. 

A programme of the event is as follows:

• 'An Introduction to the Centre for Mental Health and Human Rights' - Grace Carter and Ralph Sandland         
• The History of the Centre and its Research - Martin Orrell+
• 'Advance planning, Self-binding  and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities' - Grace Carter
• "Mental Health, Gender and Child Rights" - Ralph Sandland

Reserve your place using the form available at the top of this page.

All who have an interest on the intersect between mental health and human rights are welcome.

We hope you will join us!
