Gulwali Passarlay talks with Lisa about his 12 month journey from Afghanistan to the UK as a 12 year old and the reality of seeking refuge in the UK. Unpicking the network of traffickers, the fragility of life and building the empathy muscle.

But his book and indeed the conversation is so much more than a story about a journey. It is a story of hope, of friendships and of the power of kindness.

Dr Muna Abdi is a Leading Education consultant and independent researcher with over 10 years of experience in education, research and community engagement. She has previously worked as a youth worker and university lecturer and is currently the Director of MA Education Consultancy.

Muna's work focuses primarily on educating practitioners in various fields on anti-oppressive and anti-racist practice as well as offering equity coaching and support as they embark on the challenge of creating anti-oppressive workspaces/practices. She suggests that there is little understanding or recognition of how historic trauma which is cumulative and collective, has an impact on an individual's experience in the workplace. She would be interested to explore this further, particularly in relation to the multiple challenges people of colour may face in the workplace.

Lucy joins the podcast where we look at alternatives to thinking about mental health other than the medical model in the context of Psychiatry. We look at lived experience and voices, the Power Threat Meaning framework, trauma informed care, the power of the medical model, drop the disorder and relational activism.

Psychiatric diagnosis has become one of the most contested practices in mental health services today. Lucy Johnstone asks 'Do you still need your psychiatric diagnosis?' This book will help you to decide. A revolution is underway in mental health. If the authors of the diagnostic manuals are admitting that psychiatric diagnoses are not supported by evidence, then no one should be forced to accept them. If many mental health workers are openly questioning diagnosis and saying we need a different and better system, then service users and carers should be allowed to do so too. This book is about choice. It is about giving people the information to make up their own minds, and exploring alternatives for those who wish to do so.
