TUESDAY PRE-CONFERENCE FORUM PROGRAMS


TheMHS Consumer Forum: Building Authentic LivesVenue: The Great Room I9:00 Po

_whiri/Welcome

Combined with Family & Wha_nau Forum

9:30 Great Room I

Introduction from MC Gareth Edwards

First Voices

First Voices was developed as part of Like Minds, Like Mine to address the importance of telling our stories safely and confidently using the Power of Contact.

Taimi Allan from Changing Minds will take us through a warm-up activity from the 2 day First Voices training to get us in the mood for participation, feel confident to hold diverse perspectives and have challenging conversations.

10:00 Lived Experience Expertise - Working Authentically

This participatory workshop on empowerment in the peer workforce will be led by Eduardo Vega. We will discuss how we can use our Lived Experience to accomplish advocacy goals in a way that reduces stigma and discrimination and look at helping people use their Lived Experience effectively and strategically in meetings, on boards and with positions of influence. How to negotiate challenging dynamics and address the hidden stigma of holding a professional peer position in an otherwise clinically licenced workforce.

We will have conversations around building a strong evidence base for the effectiveness of peer positions in improving health outcomes and how to maximise your impact as a peer leader.

10.45 Morning Tea

11:15 Lived Experience Expertise - Working Authentically (continued)

12:30 Shared Lunch with the Family/Wha_nau Forum

Lunch includes an installation of “Cacophony of Creativity” Hearing Voices story posters – a collaboration between Mind and Body Consultants and the Mental Health Foundation, 9 audio sound-scape stories from real people, told by actors who share an experience of Hearing Voices, but all see their experience, and their recovery differently. Bring your smart-phone and some personal headphones/earbuds to scan the barcodes and immerse yourselves in their world over lunch.

27TH ANNUAL TheMHS CONFERENCEHilton Sydney, 29 August – 1 September 2017

More information about TheMHS Conference 2017 can be found on the TheMHS website: www.themhs.org

Mental Health services across Australia and New Zealand have undergone unprecedented change over the past 10 years. Over the next 10 years we anticipate even more. Adherence to the principles of recovery and recognition of lived experience as key to mental health reform are expanding the range of choices beyond traditional illness management.

New models, new funding, new providers and the voices of people with a lived experience have informed us about change, innovation and different approaches to collectively improve our systems of mental health support.

Embracing Changethrough Innovation and Lived Experience

LEARNING NETWORK

Embracing Change through Innovation and Lived Experience is a theme that enables new directions and conversations which are based on building on the extraordinary strengths we find in individuals, families, and communities.

The drive towards a person-centred mental health system changes many things – most critically the way that the system reacts to people’s needs. How do we respond without losing sight of the individuals and communities in our system – clinicians, workers, consumers, managers, families and carers?

Challenged by concepts like “person-centred care”, ‘self-directed support’, ‘stepped care’ and ‘personal budgets’, the Summer Forum will identify how Australian and New Zealand systems can deliver real citizenship for consumers. We will demonstrate and debate the ways change and reform are impacting on people across government, private and NGO mental health services.

Focusing on the people and services central to our mental health system, TheMHS Summer Forum 2017 will challenge delegates by asking:

• How does our mental health system enable personal choice and control?

• How can people and organisations thrive in our changing system?

• How do people navigate through Primary Health Networks, and the NDIS?

• How do mental health managers prepare for new workforce issues, like continuity of service provision?

• What works for consumers to achieve citizenship?

Invited expert speakers will lead delegates in demonstrating how 21st century mental health systems can adapt and enable true citizenship. These include practical on-the-ground experience with personal budgets from executives at Mind UK; perspectives from North America, New Zealand and the UK; and a keynote address from an Australian with lived experience of her own recovery from mental illness.

The format of the forum includes presentations by invited experts as well as invigorating panel sessions. Audience discussion and participation is actively encouraged.

TheMHS Summer Forum will investigate the impact of our evolving mental health system on people and services, and ask how citizenship for consumers can be achieved.
