2021 Service User Academia Mini Symposium

YOU CAN ASK THAT? 2021 Edition

Back by popular demand! Yes. You can ask that. What have you always wanted to ask a consumer? A diverse panel of consumer/survivor experts by experience will discuss and respond to those questions you have always wished you could ask a mad person. Conference delegates will be able to submit questions in advance, and panel members will reflect on our answers. This is a unique opportunity to share our experiences of distress, madness, recovery, healing and mental health services.
