I am really pleased to have received the 'Time to Change' www.time-to-change.org.uk issue 1, Autumn 2008, update. It is packed with information. I am especially interested in the new interactive website. Time to Change's Mind Out project is also hosting the national LGBT Mental Health conference www.lgbtmind.com , on Monday 3rd November 2008, at The Friends' Meeting House, Brighton. I am eagerly awaiting confirmation that I have a place booked.
I have been smiling, since I have found out that Ruby Wax will be presenting the Mental Health Media Awards, www.mhmawards.net which is now in its 15th year, on 25th November 2008.
Another thing that has been keeping me smiling, and was received, from 'Open Up' www.openuptoolkit.net is the news that, this Friday 10th October 2008, World Mental Health Day. Inspired-stories.tv www.inspired-stories.tv will be the first Internet TV station to give people with lived mental heath experience a platform to tell their stories and provide filmmaking skills training.
Themes include: self harm, stigma, social alienation, hearing voices, creativity and identity.
This morning, I was in high spirits after speaking to Sybil Ah-mane, Film Director, Flexible Films www.flexiblefilms.co.uk and being sent a RSVP invitation to attend a Flexible Films and IF Night of Inspired Stories Launch on Thursday 9th Oct 2008.

About Me
- Yvonne Stewart-Williams[Butler]
- Who is she? Well-depends on who's talking really! My perspective on Scotty- A survivor of many things in life, Scotty has emerged through the challenges to come alive as a very active and creative individual. Having the forthrightness that I would associate with her zodiac year, the Ox, I do see this to be tempered with the balancing influence of Libra-but enough of that ethereal what-not. An 'ideas' person who easily looks outside of the box and who is not afraid of putting thoughts forward, Scotty is a great asset to any group or team that needs to move things on / forward. A very warm and caring individual, Scotty presents challenges, especially around discrimination of all sorts, in an unobtrusive way that makes you feel that she is facing the challenges with you! Her energy is infectious which in a very busy team is great to have. A rolling stone that gathers moss and does something creative with it; A person of many hands that not only makes light work but also makes her world work; If revenge is a dish best served cold then Scotty is a dish best served three times a day, just after the tomato soup and the home-made bread!
