REPORT: Mental health inequalities are *not* inevitable. We need actions, not words, to create systemic change.

Everyone has a different zone of foresight (anticipation) they sense & therefore accept. When your foresight range is farther than others, you are called a prophet.

A few months ago we set out to create a meet up group for people doing #PeerSupport in Birmingham. We put out a call and got a better than expected response. Now, we are thinking about how the group should run. If you'd like to join this discussion, you'd be most welcome.
