Hi All

Sally Zlotowitz and I will be facilitating a session on austerity for a London Community Psychology Network event on Weds 11th June 6.30pm-9pm. In this we will introduce some recent work being undertaken by the inappropriately grandiosely named ‘European Community Psychology Association taskforce on austerity’ of which we are a part.

Venue:

Chadswell Healthy Living Centre
Lower Ground Floor,
Harrison Street
London
WC1H 8JE
Tel: 020 7713 5545
Nearest tubes are Kings Cross/St Pancras or Russell Square

Discussion and action will include...

· How do we build partnerships both within the BPS and in the other relevant organisations fighting the impacts of austerity to provide a coordinated message?

· How do we work to think about broadening and challenging the problematically narrow remit of psychologists in such a way that we can be more effectively positioned to challenge these problems?

· How do we work towards a platform where critically minded psychologists can have a more public voice in austerity/wellbeing debates?

· How do we encourage psychologists/practitioners to be more active on explicitly political issues that affect their service users/communities?

· How do we involve and join alongside our service users in this activism?

· How do we best disseminate the evidence that comes out of the austerity taskforce?

We welcome further ideas for this session. Email me [log in to unmask]

Cheers,

Carl
