These workshops welcome everyone, including; people on mental health medications, those supporting, caring for or working with people who take mental health medications and anyone with a general interest in a recovery focused, person-centred mental health care.

My Medicines & Me workshops focus on developing skills to have effective conversations about mental health medications. They cover how to support people seeking to be heard, how to speak up and represent your experiences respectfully, what tools exist to discuss side-effects and how they help a person manage their mental health medications. The workshop also covers the practical methods of making shared, informed decisions about medication with doctors.
