In June 2022 the Shared Learning Group on Involvement talked about how to support people with lived experience to stop their involvement. Thanks to Abby Meadows from Turn2us, Nicola Lucey and Angela Slater from Mind and Derek Stewart, a patient advocate, for sharing their experience and prompting really useful discussions amongst members. This paper summarises our discussions.
We've made this paper available publicly, so you can share it widely if you wish.

Positive risk-taking: from rhetoric to reality
Resource was added by: Mandy Owens
A discussion paper from Steve Morgan and Nick Andrews for the The Journal of Mental Health Training, Education and Practice.
Purpose – For health and social care services to become truly person-centred requires a fundamentally positive mindset from professionals and care workers, and a willingness to take some risks. The purpose of this paper is to explore how this will apply to delivering dementia services, where almost all of the initial impressions are of deficits, disability and disadvantage.
