Explaining what Peer Supported Open Dialogue actually entails can be challenging. Talking about talking in order to explain the content of a network meeting is like trying to hold smoke, as Amanda puts it. In this series we hope to record conversations that are dialogical and form a dialogue, with insights from creators, practitioners and teachers of Open Dialogue. We would love it if we could form a dialogue with you. We would like to quite literally demystify what Open Dialogue is all about by having a dialogue about it.

    Send us a text In this episode Gareth and Fiona are joined by Mia Kurtti, who has been working at the heart of what we now call Open Dialogue as it developed in Finland.

    3.5 It just feels so safe

    Send us a text In a first for the podcast, Fiona interviews someone who is receiving Open Dialogue in the form of network meetings. Our guest's experience is moving, touching and real, and they have asked to remain anonymous. This episode has been completely co-produced: our guest edited the whole thing with Fiona, going through every word until we were both completely comfortable and happy with it. We are very proud of this episode and hope that it will be the first of many.   POD at Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust Fiona Eastmond | LinkedIn

    Send us a text Here at CNWL where Fiona and Gareth are based we had a visit from Adrian James, NHS England’s medical director for mental health and neurodiversity. Adrian loved what we are doing in the pilot phase of Peer-informed Open Dialogue. Adrian spent most of his time with people who use our services in South Westminster and who have been benefitting from the introduction of Peer- informed Open Dialogue. We managed to catch him for 10 minutes with the roving mike and here is what he had to say.    POD at Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust Fiona Eastmond | LinkedIn
