Madness Sans Frontieres – a worldwide collaboration premiered in Canberra on October 3rd 2018.
Thursday October 11, 2018
A friend of the Recovery College Julia Bocking who is a Consumer Academic and a proud mad person approached us in the recovery college to do a quick one minute piece for the Lived Eperience Showcase on why we work in the area of mental health.
Here is Julia’s email about the film.
“The Showcase had speakers who used their own lived experience of distress to offer something different . There was a professional footballer, deputy commissioner of mental health, a manager of an IV drug outreach agency, a peer detention exit program manager (prison) and a critical psychologist all share their work, in activism and service provision. The Minister for Mental Health also spoke and got to see you all in the film. It was a perfect addition to the day.
Madness Sans Frontieres was made entirely by ‘labelled people’. The total production cost was $500 AUD for the film editing. I feel lucky to have met lots of people with lived experience around the world through my research work. This film generated a similar connection to a worldwide movement. I’m proud that all of us have used our negative experiences to change the world where we live.
I hope it is useful in your individual work. Feel free to use it in any way you wish. Do let me know where though – I’m interested in seeing how far it travels!
Sincerely
Julia Bocking

‘If Recovery Education is the answer… What’s the Question?’ A Report on the event.
Wednesday October 10, 2018
On May 3rd 2018, 110 stakeholders from across the four Provinces of Ireland and Scotland gathered in Bonningtons Hotel, Dublin, to look at the following question:
‘If Recovery Education is the answer… What’s the Question?’
This event was organised and jointly funded by the Dublin North, North East Recovery College, Advancing Recovery in Ireland and the Scottish Recovery Network. The information contained in the attached report was recorded from participant feedback. The event was designed to give stakeholders the opportunity to reflect on recovery developments nationally, and collectively envisage what would be needed to realise a landscape fully supportive of Recovery Education by 2020
This was a unique event in Ireland, not only because of the methodology, but because of the diversity of organisations and the people involved in the conversations representing statutory and NGO sectors; within service catchments and within communities generally. The diversity was evident in the quality and richness of ideas shared and outcomes reached over the course of the day. With such diversity and possibilities, it may be just the first of many equally energising conversations to come.
On behalf of all involved with organising the event our thanks to everyone that took part on the day for your collective energy, ideas and vision, all of which are vital if we are going to see recovery education flourish in Ireland. In particular thanks to the Scottish Recovery Network for your guidance and support and further thanks also to the recovery educators presenting on the day.
