Some changes to our schedule... Gateway in October
Dear Gateway Members & Supporters
Yesterday at a special members’ meeting which included
attendance by Gateway’s Management Committee Chairperson and other Management
Committee members, the decision to reduce drop in hours and activities was
taken by members after much discussion and consideration of the current project
resources and where to prioritise them.
As many of you will understand, in recent times Gateway has become very
busy with attendance at drop in doubling.
In order to be able to continue to provide a safe and healthy environment
and adequate balance of staffing, some reduction to Gateway’s activities has been agreed for the next few months. Below is the new schedule for October which reflects these changes which will see drop in opening from 2-4pm.
Notes from yesterday's meeting are available to members through the drop in.
These were hard decisions for the Project to make with a view to protecting the project, its members and staff
for the future success of Gateway. If anyone would like to lead/support a café meet
up after drop in, please let us know on info@gatewaymha.com or in person during drop in.
Please be assured that these changes are only temporary. Everyone is doing their best to make Gateway
the success it has become. It is a terrific peer and member led project but needs
a bit of nurturing and time to resettle following significant change this year.
We appreciate everyone’s support and wish everyone well.

Critical perspectives on and beyond ‘recovery’: ten years on
Registration is now open for the conference -
Critical perspectives on and beyond
‘recovery’: ten years on
14th and 15th November 2018
School of applied social studies
and school of nursing and midwifery
University College Cork, Ireland, with Critical
Voices Network Ireland
Venue:
Brookfield
Health Sciences Complex, University College Cork, Ireland.
Booking:
Email
Harry Gijbels h.gijbels@ucc.ie and
make sure you give your name, and indicate the day(s) you wish
to attend (either Wednesday 14 November, Thursday 15 November, or both
days). Booking will be confirmed by return email. Please bring the booking
confirmation slip with you to the conference registration desk on the day(s)
you are attending.
At
the first critical perspectives conference, in 2009, recovery principles and
practices were debated and discussed with a considerable optimism about their
potential to radically change mental health care. Now, with the conference in
its 10th year, it is time to take another critical look at recovery and in
particular the adoption of so-called strategies of inclusion (e.g.
co-production, community engagement, and the employment of peer support
workers) by mainstream institutions. The conference will consider whether such
strategies have led to a recovery-focused mental health care where service
users have choices, control and authority, or whether these strategies
constitute an act of appropriation and co-option servicing primarily the interests
of the mental health establishment.

National Concert Hall - Music In Mind Workshop at Gateway
Music
In Mind is a programme of participative music workshops for people in the
community living with Mental Health difficulties. The focus is on participation and
enjoyment. Our vision is that anyone
living with Mental Health difficulties should have the opportunity to
participate in collective music making, and to experience the benefits that
this can bring.
See Poster Below for Information on Upcoming Workshop at Gateway
Music in Mind believe that participation in music has a powerful role to play in the area of
Mental Health. Music, in particular
group singing, has been demonstrated to promote positive feelings, expectation
and hope, self-belief, social support and networking, structure and
organisation (Morrison & Clift, 2012).
Music
in Mind opens the door to a world of social and community music making,
develops individuals living with Mental Health concerns, and contributes to the
national conversation surround Mental Health; a subject that has been brushed
aside for far too long.

My Voice Matters National Consultation Survey
My Voice Matters is a national consultation that will gather feedback through two surveys, one for people who use mental health services and one for their family members, friends and carers. Part of the research will be carried out through a survey. You should allow 10-15 minutes to complete the survey. The surveys will look at three main issues:
1. What services are available
2. Experience of services provided
3. How services could be improved
This information will help Mental Health Reform identify gaps in mental health services and, in turn, campaign for improvements.
The survey is completely confidential and there will be no names or contact information collected in the survey.
Who can take part?
Anyone who is using or has used mental health services for their mental health difficulty in the last two years can complete the 'service user' survey.
Have you used Irish mental health services within the last 2 years? Click the link below to take the survey:
