In this episode we’re joined by a group of friends who have connected across the Liverpool region, speaking about the many projects they have been involved with and coming together to create change. Dr Ste Weatherhead (@SteWeatherhead) is a Consultant Clinical Psychologist working with the Liverpool Clinical Psychology programme and NeuroTriage CIC (@Neurotriage), who provide outreach support to the people in Liverpool affected by homelessness. Tammy Reynolds (@migettebardot), a disabled person, artist and activist, introduces their art and practice, which they create to interrogate themselves and their audience through their various works. Saeed Olayiwola (@SaeedOlayiwola) Holistic Wellbeing Practitioner and founder of SO Health (@S_O_Health) uses his passion of physical health to support people, communities and workplaces in their physical and emotional wellbeing. Jamie Barton, Researcher with Housing First, a homelessness and housing service in Liverpool, is passionate about the use of storytelling and narratives that can help people make sense of themselves and their lives. Jamie, Tammy, Saeed and Ste shared the stories that brought them to community working, creating events that were about bringing people together. We got to hear about some of the projects they’ve been involved with, including establishing the Psychology Fringe Festival in 2017, an arts-based festival open to all, exploring topics around mental health and wellbeing. This was an opportunity to bring people together and make space for conversations about individual and community wellbeing. Homelessness No Laughing Matter, at Leaf a café bar in Liverpool (@LEAFonBoldSt https://www.thisisleaf.co.uk), was another event that saw the group come together, where people used the platform to tell their stories. The group reflected on this event, Jamie telling his own story, Tammy’s experiences of comparing, and what it took to create a community feeling: working with people you trust, transparency, honesty, thinking about safety for people and the responsibility for after-care. We heard about the importance of thinking about where we meet people, being gentle and a caution not to colonise community spaces. We heard about the need to take care of ourselves and each other in doing this work through compassion, listening to and learning from younger people and what can get in the way of wellbeing in an economy-driven world. Jamie describes Rat Park and how this links to addiction research (link - https://www.brucekalexander.com/articles-speeches/rat-park/282-rat-park-versus-the-new-york-times-2 YouTube video -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLx4efEXGYg) and his learning of where connection to land, culture, community and spirituality is dislocated, we see addiction rise (https://www.brucekalexander.com/articles-speeches/283-addiction,-environmental-crisis,-and-global-capitalism), as well suicide rates being lower in first nation communities where elders still told stories and spoke of the histories of their communities (https://reviewboard.ca/upload/project_document/Chandler_and_Lalonde_1998_Paper__1265041839.PDF)
