Mental health difficulties in one partner inevitably impacts both the relationship and life of the other. There is also significant evidence that problems in a couple relationship can lead to mental health problems. Whilst the recovery approach talks about the inclusion of relationships and networks, the restraints of workloads, confidentiality, the centrality of the client and availability and/or interest of the partner often result in the individual becoming the focus of treatment. In this participatory workshop, we will consider the benefits of working with the partners of people with mental health diagnoses; discuss and contrast different approaches, and the processes engaged in to select and apply them. We will explore the potential and hazards in enlisting the partner as your assistant in intervention, couple therapy where one of the couple is in significant distress, and working exclusively with those aspects of the relationship that appear connected to the person’s symptoms. We will consider the role of parenting, as a key aspect of the couple relationship, although the impact of parental illness on parenting and child development will not be a major focus of this workshop.

Penny Pepper

The Disability Information and Resource Centre - Wed, 24/04/2013 - 10:26am

The lovely Penny Pepper is a writer, poet, blogger, disability activist and all-round fabulous woman.

She was recently interviewed in April’s “Link” magazine where she speaks about winning an “Erotic Oscar”, amongst other things.

Talking about her teenage years, she bemoans the lack of information for people with a disability around the topic of sexuality, and that the only books available were filled with “non-disabled cavorting about”.

Penny is a multi-talented artist who uses her work to express her passion for life, love and equality.

“I am passionate disabled people should have the right to sexual freedom and expression”.

 

Here are links to Penny’s blog and to a great review of her book of short-stories, “Desires Reborn”.

Enjoy!
