Mental Health Toolkit Info!
Hi
Supporter,
You
are invited to the launch of the Mental Health Act, 2001 Toolkit. The launch
will take place online on Thursday, 10th of November 10am – 11am. Further
details and registration information are below.
The School of
Law, University College Cork, has developed a Mental Health Act, 2001 Toolkit in partnership with Mental Health
Reform. When people with mental health difficulties are admitted to
mental health units, either on a voluntary or involuntary basis, it is vital
that user-friendly, accessible, information is available regarding human
rights. Access to this information is essential for people with mental health
difficulties, their family members, advocates, supporters and carers.
Speakers
§ Darius Whelan and
Claire Carroll, School of Law, University College Cork
§ RóisÃn Clarke,
Interim CEO, Mental Health Reform
§ Ber Grogan, Policy
and Research Manager, Mental Health Reform
§ Sinéad Mc Dermott,
Family Peer Support Worker
§ When: Thursday,
10th November 10am – 11am
Where: Online, via Zoom
For details of the Mental Health Act, 2001 Toolkit project, visit our website.
If you would like further information or have questions about the event, please
contact Stephen Sheil, Mental Health Reform at ssheil@mentalhealthreform.ie
About
the Mental Health Act, 2001 Toolkit
The
Mental Health Act, 2001 Toolkit will be published on Mental Health Reform’s
website and will include information on topics such as the following:
What
are the main human rights in Mental Health law?
What
is the Mental Health Act?
Can
I make an Advance Healthcare Directive?
The
Role and Rights of my Supporters / Family / Carers
Approved
Centres and What to Expect
My
Rights as a ‘Voluntary Patient’
My
Rights as an ‘Involuntary Patient’
Mental
Health Tribunals Explained
Complaints,
Advocacy and Activism
The
Toolkit will be a vital means of empowerment, enabling people to become
educated about their rights, so that they can exercise and claim those
rights. This aids fuller realisation of rights provided by the UN Convention
on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), the Irish
Constitution, and other human rights documents.
The Toolkit was drafted in consultation with Mental Health Reform’s member
organisations, through a series of online and in-person consultation
meetings. The meetings were attended by a wide variety of people, including
people with lived experience of mental health difficulties, family members,
staff and supporters of organisations.
This project was funded by the Irish Research Council. The researcher was
Darius Whelan and the Research Assistant was Claire Carroll. The co-ordinator
from Mental Health Reform was Ber Grogan.

Today's Poetry Inspiration on our Creative Thursdays!!!
What does it mean to you? Remember, interpretation is subjective. No right or wrong answers in creativity, only perspective.
The Tide Rises, the Tide Falls
By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The tide rises, the tide falls,
The twilight darkens, the curlew calls;
Along the sea-sands damp and brown
The traveller hastens toward the town,
And the tide rises, the tide falls.
Darkness settles on roofs and walls,
But the sea, the sea in the darkness calls;
The little waves, with their soft, white hands,
Efface the footprints in the sands,
And the tide rises, the tide falls.
The morning breaks; the steeds in their stalls
Stamp and neigh, as the hostler calls;
The day returns, but nevermore
Returns the traveller to the shore,
And the tide rises, the tide falls.
