Emerging Writers Festival X Schizy Inc: Gnarly Writers
Debate : The Mental Health System Helped Me.
Gnarly Writers celebrates storytellers who’ve been in the public mental health system for decades.
These writers and speakers will bring you insights into the system and into healing, which might just come in handy to anyone starting out on a mental health lived experience apprenticeship or seeking validation for a lifetime of service. This event emphasizes that writing one’s own story can be more than a chance to impart words of wisdom: it’s also an act of freedom from a lifetime of being recorded.
Debaters:
Michel Tuomy, Isabella Fels, Maggie Toko, Gemma Mahadeo, Tom Polachek, Heidi Everett,
Michelle Write, Adam Pollock, Jenny Hickinbotham and Naomi Fryers.
Audience votes the verdict!
