Monthly face-to-face group that meets in Birmingham City Centre, for people who are challenging , or at least questioning, how emotional distress is commonly understood, i.e. as a mental illness and sickness to be treated in the same way as a physical diagnosis. The group may also wish to explore alternative, less medical, understandings of emotional distress.
To be clear, the group is not denying the reality of emotional pain or suffering. What we are challenging or questioning is the viewpoint that what is being experienced is an illness and sickness.
