Addressing the Social Context of Distress

10 July 2024, 10.00 AM - 12 July 2024, 5.00 PM

Wivenhoe House Hotel, Colchester Campus, University of Essex

The Centre for Investigating Contemporary Social Ills (CICSI) will be running its 2nd Summer School taught by leading experts and practitioners working on the social context of mental distress, including Professor Richard Wilkinson, co-author of “The Spirit Level”.

Join us for the three-day Summer School and gain a critical understanding of the relationship between the social context of mental distress and the practices in the mental health system. Shifting focus to the underlying social ills and how they affect the self, we will discuss some of the emerging initiatives to understand and address the social context inside and outside of the mental health systems.

The Summer School is taught in person and consists of a mixture of lectures, interactive activities, and case study discussions. Please see full programme at https://www.cicsi-uni.org/summer-school-2024
