We are seeking expressions of interest from a Sessional Organiser to work alongside New Script activists and organisers to develop Step 2 of the Give 5: Steps to a Wellbeing Rights Framework into a campaign.

Step 2- Be Active in challenging the over- prescription of drugs, respond to individual needs and provide different, community-based options for healing – like therapies, crisis houses and creative, peer led interventions.

The campaign will feed into the wider New Script campaign and will aim to:

• Reduce the systemic overprescription of drugs and demonstrate alternatives for healing.
• Focus on shifting people’s understanding of distress from being an individual failing to one that recognises the social, economic, and political causes.
• Identify human rights violations and develop actions to address them.
• Build grassroots and political support for the campaign’s objectives.

The 6-month piece of work will be located initially in the Upper Springfield area of West Belfast.  More details of the planned work are in the attached Call for Expressions of Interest.
