The social model of disability offers a radical alternative to the way we understand our mental health problems.

Rather than focusing on health problems as deficits or diagnoses, the social model asks what structural barriers such as lack of mental health care, access, discrimination and exclusion (whether intentional or not) affect people’s wellbeing.

The social model of disability still values the importance of receiving good medical care, but refocuses our attention on what societal barriers disable people, and what role society has to remove these barriers so that everyone can be included, and feel valued and respected.

To guide us through how this approach relates to mental health, we are delighted to welcome Vici Wreford-Sinnott who is a disabled writer/director for stage and screen, and an advocate for cultural equity for disabled people.

We begin the interview by playing a clip from the Disability and… podcast which you can find here.
