Blackbird Singing with Graham Morgan

Date: Sunday 11th August   /   Time: 1:00pm - 3:00pm

In 2003 bestselling memoirist Graham Morgan was awarded an MBE for for his work helping to reform the Scottish Mental Health Care and Treatment Act. A decade later, that is the very same act under which he will become detained.

Join Graham for an account of his remarkable life, and in particular what it means to come to terms with distorted beliefs (that he still struggles to accept are an illness), build a loving family, and be human whilst all the while walking step-in-step with schizophrenia.

Doors open at 1pm for a 1.30pm prompt start.
