Welcome to episode 41 [originally broadcast on Wednesday 17 March 2021] of #mhTV. Presenters Vanessa Gilmartin Garrity and Nicky Lambert are joined by guest Lucy Schonegevel from Rethink.
Lucy Schonegevel is Associate Director for Policy and Practice at Rethink Mental Illness – the national charity that improves the lives of people severely affected by mental illness through local groups and services, expert information and training and successful campaigning. Lucy oversees the team responsible for understanding the current issues people living with severe mental illness are facing and lobbying decision makers to bring about change, as well as overseeing projects to test out news ways of supporting people. The priority at the moment is to ensure people receive the clinical, practical and social support they need in the community – particularly following the COVID-19 pandemic. Co-production with people with lived experience is at the hear of everything we do, as well as working closely with clinicians through our Clinical Advisory Group.
