We’re Back in the Classroom!
This month, we have started to make a gradual return to face-to-face sessions, with classes at the ORTUS Conferencing and Events Venue on the Maudsley campus, as well as at Dulwich Picture Gallery. We’ve already run our Facilitation workshop but there are a few places left on Working Together (if it becomes oversubscribed we will choose attendees by lottery).
Working Together: co-production in action
Where: Dulwich Picture Gallery | Gallery Road, SE21 7AD | dulwichpicturegallery.org.uk
When: 10am-1pm | Tuesday 26th October
Co-production is a way of working together which is gaining momentum in many health and social care settings.
This workshop will explore the role of collaborative working between people who have used mental health services and people who have experience by profession and the values that underpin the approach.
This workshop is only available to students with a connection to SLaM - either as a service user, a carer, a volunteer, a peer supporter, an Involvement Register member, or a member of staff.
N.B. This course will be run with SLaM’s social distancing measures operating. Please see this letter from our manager, Kirsty Giles, for more information.

Come and Meet Us at the Ortus
Venue: ORTUS (Mezzanine), 82-96 Grove Lane, SE5 8SN (back of the Maudsley Hospital campus). ORTUS website: http://www.ortusevents.com/
SLaM Recovery College team members will be present on the mezzanine floor at the Ortus from 10am-4:00pm every Monday. This will be an opportunity for any current or potential students to have an informal chat with members of the training team about the recovery college and what is on offer. We will be in the middle of the mezzanine at the large table with a banner, so you won’t be able to miss us!
The team members can also support students to complete an online enrolment if they need some assistance. We hope that, as the impact of the pandemic lessens, we can expand this service to all of SLaM’s boroughs.
