My mental health

Amanda Wells Mental health trainer and writer, From Wales

Mental health survivor and activist Amanda wells says she will be resisting the latest survivor trend to go drug-free

I consider myself to be a ‘good’ user survivor activist. I am a service user representative on the local mental health planning group and county-wide multi-agency mental health planning group, and always speak up vehemently for service user interests. Yet increasingly I feel that my ‘survivor cred’ is being brought into question by the fact that I amcompliant with drug treatment.
