Candles and campfires: creativity and the menopause transition

Menopause marks the end of menstruation but is often better thought of as a process rather than a one-off event. As someone who has experienced menopause, Catherine Pestano shares her insight about tuning into creativity to mark World Menopause Day and includes useful tips for practitioners to share with their clients/patients experiencing menopause

Community Mental Health Resilience (free online learning course)

This short interactive course provides guidance for Health and Social Care Professionals on how to implement the methodology used in the ARCLIGHT project, funded by the British Academy and led by Dr Ann Mitchell, that researched community mental health resilience in three diverse and culturally complex communities in Guyana, South America. It draws on insights from ARCLIGHT’s collaborative approach so that practitioners can adopt and adapt the methodology to suit their specialist field and levels of intervention.

THE ARCLIGHT (Action Research Community-Led Initiative, Guyana Health Team) project handbook

The ARCLIGHT project Handbook (Mitchell et al, 2020) outlines how to promote community resilience using the ARCLIGHT approach for creating community mental health resilience The document contains guidance rather than prescriptive lessons, which can be applied and adapted to differing communities, in particular those facing adversity, and considers local challenges and sensitivities.  The handbook has been disseminated to stakeholders, including the High Commissioner, the University of Guyana, Mental Health Services and across Guyanese communities in Guyana and the UK.  It is already being used in a Crisis Centre in Guyana and in Guyanese communities in England and is a useful resource for health and social care practitioners and community leaders.
