The Social Perspectives Network is a unique coalition of service users / survivors, carers, policy makers, academics, students, and practitioners interested in how social factors both contribute to people becoming distressed, and play a crucial part in promoting people’s recovery.
We aim to share work and information looking at mental health from a social perspective; to support people to put social perspectives into practice; and influence the development of mental health policy from a social perspective.
SPN’s work takes the form of study days, published papers, media campaigning, and information provision through our website. SPN is committed to working alongside regional and local projects and promotes links to NIMHE Regions.
Through links with the National Social Inclusion Programme and the New Ways of Working for Social Work group SPN also seeks to promote the importance of social care and social work.
To become a member – for free – and receive our regular e-newsletter, simply join up online.
SPN is based at the Social Care Institute for Excellence in London. It works through NIMHE regions and supports the devlopment of local SPN networks in the regions working with the NIMHE regional development centres. It has close links with user networks, national voluntary organisations and statutory bodies. SPN is grateful for funding from NIMHE / CSIP.
