One of my freelance projects is as trainer, producer and geek for Making Mental Notes, a user-led website that hosts a blog, comments, opinion and podcasts for content concerned with Mental & Emotional health.
It’s currently funded by Lifecraft, Arts & Minds and our own advertising and fundraising efforts.
The project started as a monthly radio show on 209radio, they’re now in training to keep the radio show going (we start recording for the first of the new generation next week) but it’s become so much more.
With book & film reviews, links to interesting articles and more, we’re starting to get rather excited and proud of the website.
Mental Health is a subject close to me and one which deserves many more projects like this, where service users and others with direct experience of the issues involved get together and help set the agenda.
We’re always looking for one-off or longer-term contributors so visit the site and get in touch.
