Volunteer Discusses Involvement with Mental Health Museum

your volunteer impatient research. Yes, I remember. Research, involvement, rule, and still that were involved with the mental health museums. Jane

One of our meetings and asking volunteers whatever interest in helping out that were back in, I think it was 2004. Do you mind that occurred? What's been your involvement in Field Head Hospital? Various. Actually, Just before the band down here, we put a display stand together

Which one? I'm gonna go went to learning development with a timeline. Um, I did. And also our objective and what we would have to be soft and well when the games are displaying

And just to see what kind of reaction we got from people looking at the stuff that people used to have to bear in the old standard ride hospital. Um, it's been I've got to say, it's been an adventure to research the timeline, which took me a full day to research everything that we needed to look for specific dates of what event happened, uh, and to act to get it up on display. It's been a real good as bench

I've I've enjoyed my time, uh, working in Mental Health Museum to employ projects of whatever needed to be done. And what what is field Head hospital like? To be honest, I don't know if I've never been in it. Um, the first time I ever come to feel dead was when the research involvement move meetings from Folly Hall to to feel that hospital and I have never been heard of it

Um, but I've never actually been to wait and well, and I don't know When I first came here, I thought, you know, that's a rare patient. Oh, yeah. I've got to be it with a big I'm marking up with him uninspiring

They said that walking between meetings where the world such violent patients being held, that then when I started reading and I thought, Well, nobody's going to get to it because of the defences and everything else, So I thought a lot safer. And that's in Newton Lodge. How does Newton lodge the medium secure compared to the rest? But as I said that the high fences and the campus open everywhere, actually a safer place to for people to come and have a look around, um, do things

There's a hands on displays. There's a father tells us. But I mean, I would think that better sell

And even though the door wasn't shut after coming straight back out as well, I really got close to four of it. And I thought, How can anybody be put in there for the length of time and not feel claustrophobic? I mean, some of the instruments that's on display around about, I'm thinking, I'm glad I went down. And then when they have to be used, like lockable boats and stuff like that, the straitjacket, you know, you look everything

Yeah, I like comedy. It's been a it's been an A on that has been an inspiring journey and one that I'm glad I've made. And I have the opportunity

Jamaica and I would advise anybody to come, and you start to look at the Mental Health Museum.
