Abstract: |
This paper describes a radio project involving intergenerational participation work in which young and older people using mental health services learnt how to interview, role play, and put radio shows together. Over one weekend in September 2010, 5 older people and 4 younger people, ranging in age from 14 to 85 years, explored their personal experiences of, and reactions to, age and mental health discrimination through the medium of radio. The project involved collaboration between Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and community radio. The project provided fun and the acquisition of new skills, resulting in a product that could reach a wide audience. Intergenerational work gave the participants an opportunity to challenge stereotypes and gain confidence, and the resulting radio programme invited listeners to challenge their own prejudices in relation to age and mental health. |
