Narrative advocate adopting a psychosocial (employment, housing, economics and finance and art) approach to mental health. Apolitical and people-first, I build bridges across divides to foster resilience and community well-being
Beckie's series, Reimagining Disability, continued this work by pushing past medicalising narratives and considering the political, cultural, and economic lives of disabled people - from deaf communities in 1930s China to zine-makers in the contemporary UK.
