Militant Mental Health




Me and me ol mucker, Yorkshireman Martin Crozier  have started a Facebook Page called Militant Mental Health. For Peeps who believe that Mental Health is political. My own descent into depression and social isolation began in 1979, the same year that Thatcher came to power, A co-incidence? I don't think so. This country is still grieving the effects of her dictatorship and it seems fitting to use the Type style of the Liverpool Tendency of the early 1980s to make our point. Nature plays a part in Mental Health but Nurture even more so. Your environment, your community, your wider family. With the disintegration of community came an emphasis on the individual, on the ego and on wealth and the accumulation of such. 

Capitalism does not lend itself to 'Good Mental Health'

The Facebook group is open to anybody but we expect Trolls. Right Wingers, Tories, Fascists, Kippers will not be welcome because we hold you and your views responsible for a deterioration in the collective mental health malaise.
