IMH and Leeds Met have been collaborating on a joint learning programme
featuring 3 students Natalie, Mark and Iona. They've been helping us
to think about our Web 2.0 strategy and this has led to
some interesting work, beginning with the deaf community in Leeds.
They've
also been developing their understanding of mental health and the practical
ways in which Web 2.0 can be a further recovery tool for people.
See Iona's blog which is
documenting her learning and Mark's website design idea.
For further details of this working partnership and how you could become
involved please contact Kate Brown at IMH (tel 275 2417).

The Directory includes:-
We are delighted with the recognition this award gives to the Directory, to IMH, and to the central importance of information in mental health. We would like to thank all the many people who helped create Leeds Mental Health Directory.
