Mental Health, Labels & Lived Experience | Conversations with Dr Theo Blackmore #26 w/ Jerry Padfield

This episode of Discover Voices brings together Dr Theo Blackmore and Jerry Padfield for a deeply personal conversation about mental health, identity, and the evolving language we use to talk about lived experience.

 

From being sectioned under the Mental Health Act to co-producing research that challenges and reshapes services, Jerry shares his powerful journey and why some people now call themselves ‘service refusers’.

 

In partnership with Bath Spa University, this conversation is part of the Discover Voices podcast series -placing real voices and lived experience at the centre.

Dr Theo Blackmore is the Senior Research Fellow for the We Are The People project, with Bath Spa University.
