Changing Minds

During 2001, Borderland Voices collected opinions and hopes for the future from past and present users of the mental health services in North Staffordshire at the time of the closure of St. Edward's Hospital, Cheddleton, Staffordshire.

The spoken word was accompanied by archive material, music and photography, together with artwork produced in Borderland Voices workshops.

The video was commissioned and funded by North Staffordshire Health Authority and was first shown on World Mental Health Day, October 2001, at the City Museum and Art Gallery in Stoke-on-Trent at the launch of Well-being Document, which was produced by the Directorate of Health Promotion in North Staffordshire.

Since then it has been seen at various venues including the Acute Care Conference at the Moat House in Stoke-on-Trent in May 2003 where it was well received.
