Really grateful to our core Professional Advisory Group, with their tested, global clinical and academic expertise (Kirsi in Europe/Middle East, Seyda in Turkey and beyond, Amilton in Brazil, Steve and Pallab crossing Europe and India).
But the overall thinking was captured by John, with his journalism and media experience, and vision for the Doc and Media Centre (e.g. watch the Parallel Lives programme on Social Justice at: https://doc-media-centre.org/). John’s constant cross-over with other fields makes it much more exciting than the traditional stilted mental health initiatives or overwhelmingly brief and loud mainstream media – for example, watch out for our Parallel Lives programme through photos and drawings across four countries on World Photography Day on 19th August!
Which can go nowhere without evolving technological expertise, and where Hussain and his entrepreneurial business track record in Pakistan comes in. The challenge is to get them interested, involved and crossing over to our Youth Advisory Board without killer agendas and minutes. Thank you all for now!
