In this session we’ll discuss how the increasing number of mental health conditions worldwide are connected to a deeply flawed economic system and how by creating an economy that serves people and planet, we can turn things around.
This event is included in a series of seminars organised in collaboration with the Therapy and Social Change Network.

Kate Petriw is the Comms Co-Lead of the Wellbeing Economy Alliance, and is also the co-author of the international bestseller Let That Sh*t Go. She previously ran a mental health organization, Mind Matters, to help make the topic more approachable. Her work has been featured in VOGUE, Refinery29, and Elle magazine.
The Therapy and Social Change (TaSC) Network is a broad affiliation of people interested in exploring the interface between therapeutic ideas and practices and social justice perspectives and actions. We are interested both in the ways that counselling and psychotherapy can be practiced with social justice concerns in mind (for instance, tackling unconscious biases in the consulting room), and also in the ways that therapeutic principles and practices can be extended out to the wider social realm (for instance, developing social and emotional literacy in schools).
