Misunderstood: lived experience in the mental health field (1)

Misunderstood is an event dedicated to bringing awareness to the value of lived experience in mental healthcare;

There has been a significant shift in the last couple of years in how lived experience is viewed. As a Psychotherapist, clinic owner, program designer my experience has not always been valued. In the clinical field we are recognizing,  more than ever, why our experiences matter and the importance of the personal experience. 

Come and hear Carly Crawford speak about her experience being diagnosed with an Eating Disorder and how her life flipped upside down after that. Learn about her experience in the mental healthcare system, the obstacles she faced to get well and the value of her lived experience in her work today. 

"Hear about my experiences as a survivor of what I can now see is a very broken system of treating mental health. Here about how  I went from not seeing the point to living, putting my entire life on hold, an array of different meds, treatments and doctors and now being on the other side. "

Disclaimer: this event will talk about the details of my illness that could be upsetting for others to hear. If you are unsure of whether this is a good fit for you please contact us. 

Lots of time for questions and answers as part of the evening.
