SUMMARY:H4GND x Uplift Climate Messaging Workshop
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to partner with Uplift for a messaging workshop on health and climate justice.  \n\n\n\nUplift are working to support the movement for a just and fossil fuel-free UK\, including coordinating the Stop Rosebank campaign and the Warm this Winter Coalition.  \n\n\n\nHealth workers are a critical part of the campaign against deadly fossil fuels\, and the fight for a just transition to a new economic system that creates the conditions that people really need to be healthy and thrive.  \n\n\n\nThis workshop will be a collaborative\, participatory\, fun session to bring together expertise from Uplift alongside the expertise of health workers in the HGND network to develop effective messaging for our national climate justice campaign.  \n\n\n\nThe workshop’s outcomes will form the basis of messaging that we use to lobby MPs\, speak to the media\, and organise in our local communities.  \n\n\n\nThis is a great opportunity to: \n\n\n\n\nLearn about how to centre health in developing effective messaging to campaign for a fossil free UK and climate justice\n\n\n\n\n\nExplore how we can make these messages relevant to our local communities\n\n\n\n\n\nBuild connections with others passionate about climate & health justice for campaigning together in future \n\n\n\n\nPracticalities: \n\n\n\nWe really encourage people to join in person at Pelican House if you can. We have some budget to support with travel costs\, and lunch will be provided! However\, we will be running this as a hybrid event so there is an option for a small group of people to join online.  \n\n\n\nRegistrations for this event have now closed.

SUMMARY:Neoliberalism\, Security and the Politics of Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:The fields of mental health hold the potential to depoliticise experiences that are deeply connected to our social\, political and economic environments. By focusing on individual conditions\, we risk disregarding those root causes\, such as poverty\, racism and oppression. \n\n\n\nMental health disciplines are not apolitical fields\, and may fail to interrogate the boundaries and limitations of medicine\, psychiatry and psychology. Spaces that should centre care and patient autonomy can double as places of producing “loyal\, low-risk and productive citizens” (The Muslim\, State and Mind). This depoliticisation of mental health disciplines is particularly relevant for racialised minorities\, like Muslims. \n\n\n\nWe’re excited to host a panel discussion with clinical psychologist\, academic and author Tarek Younis (The Muslim\, State and Mind: Psychology in Times of Islamophobia\, 2022)\, Securitisation of Health group member and trainee psychiatrist Mashal Iftikhar\, and Medact’s Research Manager Hil Aked whose current project Criminalising Distress explores the harmful impact of policing in mental health care. \n\n\n\nUsing case studies and experiences\, our panel will explore the alleged “apolitical” position of psychiatry and psychology; how psychological theories and practices can work to serve State interests and perpetuate racism and inequality; how austerity and the political economy can cause and exacerbate a population’s poor mental health; and whether the solutions to our mental health crisis can even be found in mental health spaces. They will touch on the increasing securitisation of supposed spaces of care\, and the harmful impacts to public health of pressure on providers to report and surveille their patients. \n\n\n\nWe hope to create a space of collective exploration and expansion of our understanding of individualised “mental illness” and treatments and cures beyond the boundaries of clinical pathology. We would encourage anyone interested in the research\, policy or practice of mental health\, the securitisation of health\, as well as anyone with lived experience of mental illness to attend. Following the panel discussion there will be time for audience questions. \n\n\n\nWe’re at capacity for in-person attendance. \n\n\n\nFor those who have been confirmed as attending in-person\, the venue has been changed to the Human Rights Action Centre\, 25 New Inn Yard\, London EC2A 3EA (map) just 5 minutes from Medact. \n\n\n[Registration has now closed]

SUMMARY:'The Suspect' Author Talk: Mental Health\, Counterterrorism\, and the Surveillance State
DESCRIPTION:*** RESCHEDULED: from 21st June to 5th July ***\nDue to industrial action on the transport network\, we have moved the date of this event to Tuesday 5th July. Solidarity with the striking rail workers! \nWhat impact has two decades’ worth of policing and counterterrorism had on the state of mind of Muslims in Britain? The Suspect draws on the author’s experiences to take the reader on a journey through British counterterrorism practices and the policing of Muslims. \nJoin Rizwaan Sabir and Tarek Younis for discussion on the traumatising effects of Sabir’s surveillance\, arrest and detention for suspected terrorism. \nWriting publicly for the first time about the impacts of these experiences\, Sabir argues that these harmful outcomes are not the result of errors in government planning\, but the consequences of using a counterinsurgency warfare approach to fight terrorism and police Muslims. \nTo resist the injustice of these policies and practices\, we need to centre our lived experiences and build networks of solidarity and support. \nPlease register to receive a 20% discount code for The Suspect when purchasing via Pluto Press. \nThis is an in-person event with an option to livestream via Zoom. The venue is Brady Arts & Community Centre\, 192-196 Hanbury St\, London E1 5HU (map). \n[Registration has now closed] \n— \nDr Rizwaan Sabir is a Lecturer in Criminology at Liverpool John Moores University in the UK and author of The Suspect: Counterterrorism\, Islam\, and the Security State. \nDr Tarek Younis is a Senior Lecturer in Psychology at Middlesex University.
