@co_pact @OxPsychiatry @CHiMESCollab @KSBhui @Roisin_MM @NIHRresearch @karlmarlowe Doreen Joseph (Lived Experience Researcher) is telling us about the racial inequalities in our mental health system. Racialised groups (e.g. Black & South Asian people) are more likely to be taken into hospital against their will under the Mental Health Act #CoPact

@co_pact @OxPsychiatry @CHiMESCollab @KSBhui @Roisin_MM @NIHRresearch @karlmarlowe The photos and captions are the most important output of this project. This work is all about giving up power and hearing all of the voices that can help improve the way we deliver mental health care, says @KSBhui #CoPact View the @co_pact exhibition

@co_pact @OxPsychiatry @CHiMESCollab @KSBhui @Roisin_MM @NIHRresearch @karlmarlowe "Throughout our work we have wanted to ensure that the voices of those who are most impacted are present, are not silenced and are facilitated to contribute meaningfully." #CoPact @Roisin_MM

@co_pact @OxPsychiatry @CHiMESCollab @KSBhui @Roisin_MM @NIHRresearch I loved looking at the @co_pact photos, says @karlmarlowe who is welcoming us to Oxford for this day of "reflections and compassion" #CoPact
