At the start of this new academic year, the Institute of Mental Health Blog editorial team is hoping to recruit new post writers and editors. To date, the IMH Blog has had 4,683 online visits from across 56 countries! Previous posts have explored myriad topics including: artwork and mental health; chronic pain; patient involvement; therapeutic communities; health economics/profit; prison mental health. The IMH Blog is a forum to encourage dialog about issues related to mental health broadly defined. Our aim is to capture the variety of interest and expertise that is reflected in the Institute’s diverse membership body. All interested parties are very welcome to contribute. We encourage posts from carers, service users, clinicians, academics, allied health professionals, commissioners, etc. You can write just one post, or many. We look forward to hearing from you.
