The workers are from FOKUS an NGO based in Prague, Czech Republic.  Fokus are unique in the range and complexity of services provided for people experiencing long-term mental health problems in the Czech Republic. They offer social and medical services in five centres in Prague and one in the town Mělník.

We'll be meeting this coming Wednesday 11th April from 6 - 7:30pm at MadLab. Whether you've been coming to the group for years or have never been, we're here to give you a warm welcome and a friendly ear. Free tea, coffee and biscuits for all. We have Laoise Renwick, a speaker from the University of Manchester coming to ask for our input on what the priorities should be for psychosis research. It's not often that we get to influence the early stages of research so do come along if you can. See below for more about Laoise and the VIP Project. MadLab is located on Edge Street in the Northern Quarter just a short walk from Piccadilly Station, Piccadilly Gardens and Shudehill Metrolink. See MadLab's 'how to find us' page for more: https://madlab.org.uk/find-us/ I'm not sure whether we'll be in the upstairs or downstairs meeting room. If you're not sure then just press the 'Office' buzzer and you'll be directed. --- About Laoise :...
