Welcome to episode 72 [originally broadcast on Wednesday 24 November 2021] of #mhTV. This week Nicky Lambert and David Munday spoke with guests Lucy Colwell, Jamie Komeh and Warren Stewart about social justice.
LC - My work has centred around child and adolescent mental health having worked as a mental health nurse at the Bethlem in the mid nineties and then within community CAMHS teams both in Lewisham, South London and in Hastings, East Sussex.
My work is influenced by consideration of the therapeutic milieu, group work, family and wider systems with influence from my training in cognitive and behavioural therapies for children and families. I am currently working to systematically research the literature on young peoples perspectives around what what is happening at the intersections of their lives and the contribution that this has towards a culture within which mental health and social justice are held as important.
JK is a senior lecturer in Mental Health Nursing at the University of Brighton and he is a Registered Mental Health Nurse. He trained in Keele University, Stoke-on-Trent and has experience of nearly 18 years working in various roles in the National Health (NHS) Service before becoming a lecturer. Jamie has experience working in crisis mental health; adult and older people in-patients and mental health liaison and home treatment teams. He has an interest in people development and as a clinician was at the forefront of teaching learners in the clinical area and in the local universities as well as working in partnership with others to identify the most effective and meaningful forms of support. He promotes innovative and creative way to enhance learning.
WS - Historically, I worked as a mental health nurse in the Royal Navy and as a nurse manager in the HMPPS, before becoming a regional practice development nurse for the London prisons cluster. This led to a sequence of joint appointments between health, justice and HEI settings. In this time, I oversaw NVQ training and developed and delivered the FdSc in Offender Care, at London South Bank University. During my time at the University of Brighton supporting nurse training, I have conducted a systematic review on burnout among health care practitioners in secure settings, and an action research study and doctoral thesis, focussing on the development of peer working in care.
