Lancashire Recovery College - Recovery in Focus
2020-11-19 13:30 - 14:30 (Europe/London) | Online
Recovery in Focus – Online
Produced in partnership with Positive Focus, this session will look at the merits of photography as a tool for maintaining well being. Photography as a hobby can help those who suffer from anxiety and depression, experience the peaceful beauty of creation. All aspects of photography can help separate you from common modern day thoughts, helping to focus and meditate on the peaceful harmony that exists in photography. Although it is nice to just visit a park or other recreational area, photography forces an individual to narrow his or her thoughts on a specific subject while blocking all else out . This forum has been developed in recognition of International Men’s Day.
The course will last one hour and will run on Thursday 19th of November at 1:30pm . The session will be run via Microsoft Teams.
Positive Focus
Positive Focus is a non profit community group constituted in 2018 where the majority of our supporters including our committee have related experience with mental health. Our core work is to support those who suffer and have suffered from mental health issues. We also provide support for carers in the same field by giving respite in the form of project courses and quality events. Based in Chorley, we serve those with issues such as depression, anxiety and isolation throughout the Lancashire area. We have grown from a group of photographers and professionals finding that our skills can make a difference in using photography as a platform to enhance one’s quality of life. Photography has been proven as a substantial aid in taking the mind to a better place with the narrative of expressing and handling one’s feelings. By separating everyday events, looking through a looking glass and capturing the wonder and splendour the world has to offer, the imagination and use of this long standing hobby can assist people to take respite from depressing thoughts. It can also lift confidence by being involved with people socially. We have the skills required and are here to help.
Lancashire Recovery College provides a learning service that works alongside experts by experience and professionals by experience, to co-produce courses that enhance wellbeing and social opportunities in your community.
This co-produced course has been developed and will be delivered alongside people who truly understand and can share their lived experience. We believe this approach captures the true values of recovery Hope, Opportunity and Control.

About this Event

Coping with a ‘dead body’ coming back to life…
Climbing down a slippery embankment to care for a lorry driver trapped in his cab…
Telling a wife her husband had just died.
Gary Jones has faced many challenges in his 40 years of A&E nursing. For International Men’s Day, we invite him to talk from his recent memoir,It’s Not All Blood And Guts, available from all good booksellers.
From his early days as a hospital cadet, through to running his own consultancy, expert witness and training company, we will hear some fascinating, sometimes shocking, patient stories. We will travel with Gary as he heads for Canada and the USA, returning with ideas that not only transformed the care at his own hospital but also influenced A&E nursing and paramedic development across the UK. We will also hear what it was like starting out in a predominantly female profession in the 1970s.

Cemetery Club: Male Allies - Historical Men Who Have Empowered Women
2020-11-19 19:00 - 20:00 | Online
An online talk examining the historical men who worked with women for equality and empowerment

This International Men’s Day (Thursday 19th November) join two historians for a special collaborative event!

IMD is celebrated around the world in over 60 countries and aims at highlighting the issues that affect men and boys, including promoting a positive conversation about men, manhood and masculinity.
We want to mark the day by sharing the stories and learn about some of the men who used their positions in society to aid women in the fight for empowerment and equality. Men who used their wealth to finance and stand side by side with the women’s movement, as well as those who, during the horrific suffragette protest on Black Friday, stood in solidarity with the women who suffered and the men of modern times who continue to call out casual sexism in film, television and sport.
This one hour talk will be hosted online via Zoom, a link will be sent to you on the afternoon of Thursday 19th and there will be time for questions at the end.
Becky Laxton-Bass is the founder of Women of London, a tour-guiding company that highlights, recognises and celebrates the role of historical Women across the capital and shall be conducting this talk alongside fellow tour guide and
Sheldon K. Goodman, founder of the Cemetery Club, which seeks to reinterpret cemeteries as more than places of remembrance and mourning, but as Museums of People.
Please note the ticket price will be split evenly three ways between WOL, CC and CALM, a charity dedicated to preventing male suicide, through their campaigns such as Project 84 and DontBottleItUp raise awareness of male mental health and challenge negative/toxic male stereotypes.

Brighton University Feminist Society: Red Pill Film Broadcast
2020-11-19 19:00 - 21:00 | Online
Hello everyone ! sooo for International men’s day we thought of bringing up a very controversial type of theme, to hopefully have a fruitful debate on it .
Then following up with a discussion, exploring questions like:

what do we think are relevant to us as feminists, in terms of men’s rights?
Should we be concerned with men’s issues as feminists?

Which ones?

Have we had experiences with meeting men’s rights activists online? and are they an accurate representation of some of the issues men face today and do they offer good solutions for those issues? Etc etc.

We will be screening this through zoom, if you want to turn up to watch and we can make some comments in the chat bar of the zoom call while we watch. Or you can watch the documentary in your own time and just turn up for that chat.
the link to the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLzeakKC6fE&t=1s
Trigger warning: the documentary contains some reference to rape and violence and a lot of misogynistic content

Forthright Arts Play: The Gary & Robert Blues
2020-11-19 20:00 - 22:00 | Online
The play focuses on one man isolating himself, as he uses the creation of a new stand-up comedy act to help him reconnect with the world. Throughout the production, he is interrupted by messages left on his answer phone from friends, family and work and a food delivery man . They serve as his slender connection to the real world outside.

This is an experimental piece of ‘theatre’. Originally designed to be played to a live audience in a performance space using surround sound enhanced by visual images on a screen. This was aimed at giving people the shared experience of a theatre performance. It also goes back to the early days of radio, when families would gather around the radio set to listen to a comedy show or a weekly thriller.
However, due to the ongoing COVID restrictions we will have to share the first performances online. It would be great if our audience could gather to listen in household/bubble groups; obviously, following any current COVID guidelines and ensuring that everyone is kept safe. Your feedback about the show will be vital to us so that we can see if our experiment has been successful.
NB the play contains occasional bad language and tackles a difficult subject in an adult and honest way.
Recommended age 16+
