BSMHD Members Meetings

BSMHD meetings are open to members and guests and are free to attend. They are held every three months at venues across the country. The programme for each meeting includes a presentation about the work of the host organisation followed by an update of the society's activities, an opportunity for members to comment on future developments and to give guidance to the Trustees and General Secretary.

The next BSMHD members meeting will be held in Newcastle on Tuesday 9th March 2010 at Hall A/B, Coach Lane Campus West Side, Benton, Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE7 7XA, from 11am to 3.30pm.

The meeting will be an opportunity to meet fellow BSMHD members, staff from the local Health Services and Deaf Organisations. There will be a presentation by Northumbria University on the work they are doing to develop training opportunities for mental health professionals working with deaf people, and an update on the national activities BSMHD is involved in including the Social Work with Deaf People Conference on 18th March, the European Mental Health and Deafness Congress in Cambridge in November, the improving access to psychological therapies for deaf people national development project, the Diploma in Integrative Counselling taught in BSL, and updates on developments in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.
