Post NHMAW Event: With-you Allyship Network
With-you Allyship Network – ‘Learning that your fight is my fight’
How do we reduce stigma and discrimination in mental health and beyond? What is the important place of Allyship?
With-you Consultancy, a national training provider specialising in peer-based approaches with emphasis on equalities, have created an Allyship Network as an intentional space. Hosted by With-you Associates Gee Collins and Sharif Mussa, the Allyship Network is designed to bring together diverse perspectives, with a focus on intersectionality, which can feel absent in workplace environments.
Our network welcomes anyone interested in allyship to come together. This space compliments other closed groups that you may already have in your workplace, that focus on a particular characteristic or identity. By providing a parallel space we hope to foster collaboration across groups.
Do you work in Peer Support or another profession around the mental health care sector, either in the NHS, for the third sector, or in a grassroots organisation?
Does the idea of an open, flexible, and adaptable space where a collective of people work collaboratively and authentically to find support for and solutions to real world experiences sound like a valuable place to be?
Would you like to find a “braver space” which encourages open discussions, community of practice, and the sharing of experiences to build confidence and skills in a challenging world?
If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, then please join our growing Allyship Network next meeting on Monday 27th October, 6.00 – 7.30pm. Rooted firmly in the principles of inclusivity, empathy, collaboration and diversity, this will be a network where you can foster relationships, engage in meaningful conversations, and creatively imagine the future.
If you would like to join our Allyship Network, please complete the online registration form and let us know how you’d like to get involved.
Together, let’s start making a change—for active allyship with purpose from a peer side by side perspective.
