The Invisible Architecture
How neoliberal ideology and the 2012 Health and Social Care Act produced the fragmented system practitioners live inside today — and why the cracks are not accidents but design choices.
My podcast on co-existing mental health and substance use — solo episodes and interviews, for practitioners, policy-makers, students, and anyone affected by the gaps in care.
Most recent first. Each episode stands alone — start anywhere.
How neoliberal ideology and the 2012 Health and Social Care Act produced the fragmented system practitioners live inside today — and why the cracks are not accidents but design choices.
The argument behind the book in short form. Introduces co-emergence as a way of understanding mental distress and substance use without splitting them into separate categories the system can sort.
Stories from prisons, streets, and crisis services — what it looks like, on the ground, when systems are structurally incapable of holding the people in front of them.
A short introduction: who the podcast is for, what it's trying to do, and the working assumption that pain comes first.
Researchers, practitioners, peer workers, commissioners, and people with lived experience — if you have something worth saying about co-existing distress and the systems built around it, get in touch.
