About this Event
What has changed in mental health care, and what hasn't?
Explore the history of the Royal Edinburgh Asylum/Hospital through the voices of people with lived experience. Led by the Oor Mad History project, this interactive workshop compares past and present mental health services, examining power, class, gender, race and language while celebrating the launch of the online Oor Mad History archive.
The Oor Mad History project is a Collective Advocacy group at CAPS Independent Advocacy. CAPS Independent Advocacy provides collective and individual advocacy in East Lothian and Midlothian. They also host several experience-led projects across Lothian.
Please note that booking is essential. Tickets are restricted to one per person, you're welcome to book on behalf of others but you'll need to book separate tickets with their contact details, with their permission. We'll remind you about the event one week before and we ask that if you're no longer able to attend you cancel your ticket so that we're able to offer the tickets to others. This really helps us to continue offering free-to-attend events.
