Evolving Minds aims to increase the understanding of emotional wellbeing and mental health, and to give people the confidence to act positively around these subjects. We believe there is no one superior way of understanding these issues and hold the belief that each person has wisdom and expertise that is valuable. This way, we challenge the dominance of the medical model and advocate and campaign for alternative compassionate and "radical" approaches to mental health and the mental health system.
Evolving Minds meetings us usually consist of: half an hour creative performance; an hour of talk and discussion with a guest speaker, followed by smaller group discussions with regular breaks for refreshments. Topics have included: spirituality; nutrition; complementary therapies and creativity. Last year Evolving minds also curated Bradford's first mad arts festival. Evolving Minds is an independent and democratic group run by people who use, have used and/or work in mental health services.
