@emmyvandeurzen.bsky.social speaking at Kingsley Hall, location of one of R.D. Laing’s most remembered experiment. Thank you Compassionate Mental Health for organising such a great day reflecting on the impact of therapeutic communities and alternatives for people with lived experience of psychosis.

With more than 3000 deaths at the hands of police over the past 50 years, there have only been 4 successful prosecutions that led to police officers being convicted and sent to prison. The disproportionate number of Black people killed represents the depth of racism ingrained in UK police forces.

Attended The People’s Tribunal on police killings this weekend. This was led by families of those killed by police who shared their story with an international panel to examine the evidence. In 6/7 of the cases I heard, it was a mental health call that ended up killing the person needing support.

On my way home from a Citizens community meeting where school aged children delivered a speech to a local councillor demanding safer neighbourhoods and schools with a call to action to join their campaign. What power we could give to youth by investing in their relational and leadership skills.

Walk today through Tower Hamlets Cemetery. One of London’s “Magnificent Seven” cemeteries. Created to deal with rapid population increase and the lack of burial space in the 19th century.

Had an inspiring time listening to all the wisdom in the room yesterday at the Black Psychotherapy conference which looked at the theme of Justice in Therapy. I’m thinking about my place around actions for systems change, bringing justice to institutions, and integrating justice into my practice. 💭

Happy to be nominated for the HSJ Best Partnership with the NHS Award for our suicide prevention work in North West London that collaborated with the ICB and got funding to grassroots organisations. These organisations have the tools, skills and knowledge to respond best to their communities needs.

Have been reflecting on not being able to guarantee a safe space for people. This has been supported by Myira Khan’s work and thoughts on the matter. Today at my placement, I came across this and I really liked it. Any thoughts? Brave spaces instead of safe spaces?

Was going through some old photos I had developed and came across this one I took in Brooklyn in 2017. “A person’s body is not public space.”
