I won a grant for my project, from the University. It is titled the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Grant. Here is a section from the application that I wrote.
My project would hopefully reduce
instances of discrimination, harassment, and victimization – stigma and a lack
of understanding is a common issue when it comes to mental health problems. My
project aims to give people an understanding of what it is like to experience
an episode of psychosis, and hopefully mean that people are more likely to be
less judgemental when it comes to interacting with people who suffer from this
condition.
By showing the impact and symptoms of
psychosis, my project will help to show professionals involved in the care of a
client how to best assist their client or student and give them equal opportunities
in day to day life and in the academic environment.
In a more everyday environment, my
project will allow the general population to understand psychosis. This will
allow them to gain greater empathy and mutual understanding of how the person
suffering from psychosis may feel in a variety of circumstances and situations.
