It seems strange not to acknowledge the loss of David Bowie today. Much has been said and will be said so here's something from the man himself. Life on Mars. Of the Oh! You Pretty Things
lyrics, Bowie said: “I hadn’t been to an analyst - my parents went, my brothers and sisters and my aunts and uncles and cousins, they did that. They ended up in a much worse state. I thought I’d write my problems out.... I always had a repulsive need to be something more than human.”

Join us for a Human rights and Mental Health event
BIHR, Wish and NSUN invite you to attend a learning event at Conway Hall, 25 Red Lion Square, London, WC1R 4RL, at 1:30pm on 20 January
about human rights and mental health. Wish and NSUN have partnered with BIHR (the British Institute of Human Rights) on a project looking at how human rights can help ensure people using mental health/mental capacity services are treated with dignity and respect. The project is called ‘Care and Support: A Human Rights Approach to Advocacy’. This learning event will look at: - An introduction to human rights: values and context
- An introduction to the Human Rights Act
- Mental health and human rights: examples of good practice
- Using human rights in practice
The event is free to attend but places are limited and only open to those working on mental health or mental capacity for a third sector organisation.
