Social Pow­er and Men­tal Health <http://www.crassh.cam.ac.uk/events/28578> brings togeth­er peo­ple with lived expe­ri­ence of men­tal health chal­lenges, and researchers. Our aim is to start con­ver­sa­tions between these two groups of experts. We also recog­nise that many peo­ple belong in both groups.

Dis­em­pow­ered social groups face an increased risk of men­tal health issues. They are more like­ly to expe­ri­ence dif­fi­cult eco­nom­ic, social and envi­ron­men­tal con­di­tions. Race, gen­der, sex­u­al­i­ty, dis­abil­i­ties and social class inter­sect with these. At the same time, men­tal health issues are wide­ly stig­ma­tised. And peo­ple from dis­em­pow­ered social groups are much more like­ly to be labelled ‘men­tal­ly ill’. How do these inequal­i­ties appear, and why? And what steps could be tak­en to chal­lenge them?
