A wise psychologist once said..
"We have all been taught to learn what makes people unwell, suddenly we need to learn what makes people well."
I am currently working at Sidekick Studios on a project to improve long-term mental health services within the NHS. Whilst discussing changing approaches in health-care with our team clinical psychiatrist, Jerome Carson, he said something which is still resounding with me.

I guess it resounds because it's so obvious and yet was clearly overlooked for the best part of medical history. It's also a nod to the realisation that all at levels of society we might have to flip accepted thinking in order to see the results we all aspire to see.
