Welcome to our official website inspired by our youngest son Christian who developed Schizophrenia around the age of 15. The site is designed to share some of our thoughts, views and experiences with you.
Based on our experiences our aim is to raise the profile of mental illness and improve the services offered to patients. Here I will share some of my personal poems including excerpts from my published books.
Using the power of words and family photo's we bring the audience as far into the world of the mental health carer as possible.
Send us a lesson plan and we will design the workshop
Training Materials
- 4 Published Books plus 1 pending publication in March 2010
- Co Author to 4 other books regarding mental health caring.
- 7 Films
- An excellent range of powerpoint presentations
For the past 10 years I have trained/explained the carers perspective to mental health professionals at all levels. I am also an accomplished public speaker and have spoken at many conferences Nationally. I have recently been made an Honuary
Lecturer at the Institute Of Psychiatry where I have worked delivering"The Carers Perspective" on 3 short courses for the past 9 years.
One of our sessions entitled "A journey of Discovery Opportunities Achievements And Hope" takes the audience on a 19 year journey which covers many aspects of the caring role. Including the benefits of Direct Payments which we feel can actually prevent relapse.We also cater for carer support groups.I hope you find this site informative and would love to hear any comments or views you may have on the content discussed within this site.
Thank You
Georgina Paul and Christian Wakefield
