A Simple Guide to Being a Good Psychotic. We wrote this guide in 2016 but have had to edit it heavily here for space. We encourage you to read the full thing at our website recoveryinthebin.org - Find it under publications! #recoveryinthebin #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthquotes #mentalhealthrecovery #mentalillnessrecovery #recoveryquotes #disabilityawareness #disabilityrights #disabilitylife #disabilityactivist #disabilityactivism #ResistanceNotRecovery #MentalHealthSupport #mentalhealthwarrior #ResourcesNotRecovery #RecoveryMemes #socialmodeldisability #radicalmentalhealth #psychosis #psychosismemes
As we’re still quite new to instagram, we thought it’d be helpful to give some context as to who we are and what we’re about as a group. Any questions feel free to ask! The full version of our key principles (and all our other publications) can be found at recoveryinthebin.org. We’re currently remaking lots of our most popular publications and leaflets, and they’ll soon be available to buy in print - so watch this space! #recoveryinthebin #socialmodeldisability #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #resistancenotrecovery #resourcesnotrecovery #mentalhealthrecovery #mentalillnessrecovery #socialmodeldisability #disabilityawareness #disabilityrights #disabilitylife #disabilityactivist #disabilityactivism #MentalHealthSupport
We love this from Cleo - narwhalsaurus over on twitter. She has given her permission for us to share it here and even made a blank Recovery Doll for you to add your own soundbite! What would your Recovery Doll say? Actual quotes from mental health professionals welcome! We’ll try and post some on our stories! Cleo’s original post says: Are you a mental health clinician tired of your patients complaining about "abuse" and "safeguarding" and "human rights"? Maybe even a government looking to route money away from quality public services towards private solutions? Then The Recovery Doll™™™ is for you! #recoveryinthebin #socialmodeldisability #radicalmentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #mentalhealthrecovery #recoverymemes #recovery #disabilityrights #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthactivist #resourcesnotrecovery #resistancenotrecovery
Guess which mental health trust this was inspired by? 😉 #recoveryinthebin #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthquotes #mentalhealthrecovery #mentalillnessrecovery #recoveryquotes #disabilityawareness #disabilityrights #disabilitylife #disabilityactivist #disabilityactivism #ResistanceNotRecovery #MentalHealthSupport #mentalhealthwarrior #ResourcesNotRecovery #MentalHealthMeme #RecoveryMemes #MentalIllnessMemes #RecoveryCollege #FuckNeoliberalism
Did you know that some psych wards run their own Twitter accounts now? It’s a trend we’ve been following with concern for a while (we had to tell one ward it wasn’t appropriate of them to post pictures of inpatients with only emojis covering their faces🤦‍♀️). But now, a new trend - some psych wards are running their own Recovery Colleges! Suicide Prevention Courses no less! We think that would just about finish us off. What else might you find on an inpatient Recovery College schedule? We might make a brochure to go along with our Stepford Recovery College one! #recoveryinthebin #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthquotes #mentalhealthrecovery #mentalillnessrecovery #recoveryquotes #disabilityawareness #disabilityrights #disabilitylife #disabilityactivist #disabilityactivism #ResistanceNotRecovery #MentalHealthSupport #mentalhealthwarrior #ResourcesNotRecovery #ResistanceNotRecovery
We’ve had some questions recently about what we mean by ‘neorecovery’. It’s a concept we are still evolving but here is the definition we came up with (and you can find on Urban Dictionary!). We’ve also included some examples of what neorecovery looks like in practice. We gave a keynote on Neorecovery at the 25th international Mental Health Nursing Research Conference in September 2019. You can watch the live stream of that on YouTube and read about it on our blog. #recoveryinthebin #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthquotes #mentalhealthrecovery #mentalillnessrecovery #recoveryquotes #disabilityawareness #disabilityrights #disabilitylife #disabilityactivist #disabilityactivism #ResistanceNotRecovery #MentalHealthSupport #mentalhealthwarrior #ResourcesNotRecovery #ResistanceNotRecovery #Neorecovery
