Welcome to another blog post from Matthew Mckenzie a carer over in South London. On this blog I want to talk about activism. When you think of mental health problems or those who might be vulnerable due to capacity issues then human rights is not far behind. The way how society treats those suffering mental health issues can speak volumes. Mental health affects us all, that being caregivers or carers, mental health survivors and society at large.
Welcome to another blog post by Matthew Mckenzie a carer for someone surviving mental health problems. I thought I would write this blog post on mental health carers who can sometimes be ignored by the system designed to recognize and support them.
Welcome back to another blog from fellow mental health carer from South London. I thought to do another video regarding carer empowerment.
The video can be quite controversial because there will be others who feel that the NHS is trying as hard as it can to accommodate carers and their loved ones, but unfortunately this is not always the case, so it is up to mental health carers like ourselves to be empowered to speak up.
Welcome to another blog post from mental health carer Matthew McKenzie. This time I thought I would blog about something most carers find useful, but is actually quite hard to provide. Before I continue, I would just like to mention that a carer is someone who cares for a person suffering ill health, but an important point is that carers are unpaid. Carers tend to fall on difficult times due to the stress placed on health services, cuts on other services, plus misunderstandings by those who have not encountered carers.
Hello Everyone, It has been a while since I have last done some blogging. I have been fairly busy, but as you might already know. I have a new podcast channel and have made some podcasts regarding carers.
I usually try and release a podcast once a week, especially on weekends. I am hoping to push this to twice a week and if I am lucky, I ll try get some interviews in and guest podcasters. As for now, my main focus is blogging and trying to compile new videos off my YouTube channel.
Hello and welcome to another blog post from Matthew Mckenzie mental health carer. This time I made another video on how art has been used in the past to express and represent art throughout the ages.
Hello, welcome to another video. This one is about Carers week, which is an annual campaign to raise awareness of caring, highlight the challenges carers face and recognize the contribution they make to families and communities throughout the UK.
Hello all and welcome to another blog post by Mental health carer Matthew Mckenzie. I have decided this time to make another video on the timeline of psychiatry since this blog site sometimes examines the field of psychiatry and so on.
The video brings up major events in the field of psychiatry and some events in psychology, most if not all events did change the field of psychiatry, but unfortunately I could not include everything and I am sorry if I missed out a particular event.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the video.
Welcome to another blog post from Mental Health Carer Matthew Mckenzie in the borough of Lewisham. This time I want to write about something that is not only bothering me, but carer organisations around the country, in fact I should include other countries since this affects basically everyone across the planet.
Welcome to another blog from mental health carer Matthew Mckenzie. I have been meaning to do this blog at lot earlier, but unfortunately I have been fairly busy. Since being a carer for over 15 years and perhaps longer regarding my other loved ones. I have tried to make a commitment to engage with other carers and carer charities and organisations.
It just so happens that I was in luck because I managed to attend the Carers Trust Triangle of Care Conference, which took place on the 28th of April 2016. If you are a carer and have not heard about Carers Trust, let me briefly explain what they do?
