As is traditional at this time of year, One in Four is preparing a round up of the year for our readers and we want to know what you made of the year.
It’s undoubtably been a turbulent one for many of us, but we want to know what your mental health high points, low points and hopes for 2011 are.
You’ve got two weeks to send us your thoughts. We want:
- One high point be it personal, political or other
- One low point be it personal political or other
- One hope for 2012
And
- One thing you’ve learned about mental health in 2011, be it a personal realisation, something factual or something general.
We’d like it if you could keep your answers to a maximum of 200 words for all four questions in total.
You’ll also need to provide us with the name you’d want your comments to be published under and an email address.
If we publish your comments we’ll send you three copies of the Winter edition in which your comments will appear.
Send your comments to mark@socialspider.com with ’2011 Thoughts’ as the subject line.
We need them by 24th November so get thinking!
Cheers,
Mark Brown, editor, One in Four magazine.
Hi,
When you ask for a hope for 2011.. do you mean a hope for 2012?
Thanks.
• One high point be it personal, political or other
o I’m working, in my preferred field of choice. (program improvement and peer mentor-trainer)
• One low point be it personal political or other
o Losing my sister and best friend at a young 67
• One hope for 2012
o I still have a job
And
• One thing you’ve learned about mental health in 2011, be it a personal realization, something factual or something general.
o 1. The mortality and morbidity study (those in the public MH system die 10 yrs sooner) is coming to light more
o 2. The importance of coordinated care with physical health, mental health and substance use.
I did!
Changed and thanks!
Mark
