Below
is some further information which we hope will assist you in choosing
which Workshop you wish to attend:
1.
Living Your Life (Colin Mair)
Users lifestyle choices still do not lead change, even although
it is precisely such choices that change is supposed to support. This
Workshop will explore these issues and possible ways of addressing
them.
2.
Silent Voices (Philomena de Lima)
Despite the policy emphasis on equality and social inclusion,
there continue to be a number of people in the Highlands that are
invisible and lack a voice: homeless people, minority ethnic groups,
the deaf community and others. Many of these groups lack access to
information and advice about services and have poor access to services
in general. This Workshop will explore who the invisible groups/individuals
are, what they have in common and how we might reach out to them.
3.
Roads to Recovery (Gregor Henderson)
Everyone needs good mental health. This Workshop will look at
ways of achieving and sustaining this in the context of people's lives.
4.
Getting a Window on Your Life (Brian Hill)
How ready access to video can help users and carers to gather
material that illustrates their lives. By the end of the Workshop
participants will produce video footage.
5.
Getting People Involved in Improving their own Health in the Highlands
(Moira Paton)
Healthy Communities are one of the main components of the Highland
Community Plan. This Workshop will come up with people's top 10 priorities
for improving health in the Highlands and look at different ways of
involving communities in action for better health.
