Drugs, Creativity & Madness
7 May 2019
- This educational meeting took place at the BMA. We focused on current issues around recreational drugs and the link between wellbeing and health. 2019 sees the 50th anniversary of the infamous Woodstock Festival, where music, drugs and counter-culture gained popular status. Recent statistics suggest high rates of illicit drug use among the over-50s . In this context, we trace the experience of some highly creative musicians and their ambiguous relationships with drugs. The webinar is in 3 parts: (1) Creativity and Wellbeing; (2) Drugs, Creativity & Madness;(3) Q&A.

Programme
At a time when the NHS is under immense pressure to meet demands, especially in mental health, the workshop aims to support health professionals, service users, families and other interested parties by examining personal values and the impact these have on our individual wellbeing and attitudes towards mental illness.
Participants will be introduced to theoretical concepts and models of wellbeing before completing an anonymous on-line questionnaire designed to stimulate reflection on personal values and practices related to their wellbeing. This session is interactive and will enable exchange of views. The questionnaires will be analysed after the event and a copy of the anonymised analysis will sent to all participants.
The theme of values will then focus on stigma, moving from general principles to stigma and mental illness. This session is also interactive. Participants will complete a staged questionnaire, when prompted, in order to determine their views before and after the workshop, thereby tracking any changes in perception. These questionnaires will also be analysed after the event, and an anonymised report will be sent to participants.
