✦ Synopsis

Women's Action for Mental Health (Nottingham) is a grassroots initiative run for working class women with mental health diculties by women who have experienced and addressed similar issues in their own lives. It is distinct from professionally-run mental health services in that it oers working class women a place where they can belong and with which they can identify; where they do not feel inferior or judged; and where they can contribute to the management and running of the project. The development and details of the activities of the project are presented and discussed.
