あらすじ・解説
Welcome to episode 4!
This fourth episode of KUBAcast is in English, since today we've got Simon Richardson from the Leeds Survivor Led Crisis Service (LSLCS) on! The LSLCS is an organization founded and run by people with lived experiences with mental distress, and Simon offers invaluable insight into the operations of an alternative to psychiatric evaluation, hospitalization and support.
There are several important keynotes in this episode, and I've highlighted a few here, and I will be discussing these matters further in future episodes and debates:
- The importance of lived experience as an anchor for the approach to mental distress rather than profession.
- The importance of "sitting with someone's distress".
- The benefit from approaching people in mental distress as equals who are experts in their own lives.
- The offering of a choice: What does the mentally distressed person want? Some may want psychiatric pathologicalization, which is fine. Others might prefer people to talk to in equal, nonjudgemental (nonevaluating) settings.
I hope you enjoy this episode! It's safe to say that Projekt KUBA will take Simon and the LSLCS up on their gracious invitation to come see their work in practice.
