ngl, I'm jealous of Jo Taylor's students at Massey who are getting more and more service user led and human rights based teaching each year #SUAS2021

Jo Taylor closes with the hope that service user academics become the norm rather than the exception. Hear hear! #SUAS2021

Lucky to hear from Alberto Vasquez this morning at #SUAS2021 and the way in which we can learn a lot from the human rights community and disability community

Creating a service user led research agenda - rather than attaching to existing agendas - will take this research out of the margins. - Alberto Vasquez #SUAS2021

Alberto Vasquez, consulting to UN: We need to connect up research & advocacy agendas #SUAS2021

A real privilege to be on this panel with Peter Beresford Alberto Vasquez & Jo Taylor #SUAS2021

The background sound to my #suas2021 attendance today consists of “the wheels on the bus” courtesy of rhyme time at the library 🤣

Reflecting on how even though we're dispersed for #SUAS2021 this year, I'm still feeling a sense of valuable community-building going on. Very glad we have this day together-apart 😁

Calls for curriculum transformation for mental health workforce to enable rethinking ways MH disciplines think & practice at #SUAS2021

Many of these trailblazers in audience today 🙏at #SUAS2021 , along with folk who will be future trailblazers- challenging status quo in mental health teaching, research & practice

Almost at the end of #SUAS2021 already 😢 but super excited to hear from some postgrad members of the SUAS community in this next session.

Loving hearing about Kaupapa Maori research methodology with Dave Burnside #SUAS2021 - methodology as compassion

Aimee Sinclair Loved Aimee Sinclair today on "thinking with the mangrove" and #PeerSupport as an always-becoming assemblage! #SUAS2021

And HelenaRoennfeldt extends this beautiful session- talking about the sacred & transformative spaces that mental health crises can present in people’s lives #SUAS2021

What a day! Thank you all for coming and contributing to such a great mini symposium this year. It was lovely seeing some old friends and making new ones, and #SUAS2021 was only a success because of the great community we have.

Great to have the opportunity to learn from the fantastic speakers today at the Service User Academia Symposium. Big thanks to the organising committee and panelists #SUAS2021

SAVE THE DATE!!! We have missed you, but SUAS will be back in 2024 for our TENTH(!) Service User Academia Symposium in Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand. Put the 18-19 November 2024 in your diaries now, and get ready for a 10th birthday party and catching up with like-minded people.
