Michael Richardson: Nothing About Us Without Us

The Mental Health and Substance Use Team at DVVA work to bridge the gap between strategic decision makers and the voices of lived experience.

Ben Lawrie is joined by Michael Richardson, Mental Health Engagement Worker at DVVA, to discuss what good engagement work looks like. He also chats about his own experiences of mental health problems, and the film everyone who works in mental health should see.

Ben joins Michael on the streets of Dundee as he prepares to meet with some local community groups before settling in to the studio chat.

Written and presented by Ben Lawrie. Filmed and edited by Ross Bull. Produced by Dundee Volunteer and Voluntary Action.
