June Healthier Futures lecture – Survivor Stories: In conversation with Michael Rosen
Acclaimed children’s poet and author Michael Rosen has not been afraid to share the role that grief and trauma have had in his life. In speaking out about his experiences – and the lessons he has learned as a survivor – he inspires many more of us to find our own route to recovery and seek out moments of hope and happiness.
Since his personal fight with Covid-19 in 2020, Michael has been one of the most vocal champions of our NHS service, and the great work done by everyday people who take on life-saving professions. His experiences are shared in the book ‘Many Different Kinds of Love: A story of life, death and the NHS’.
More recently, his book ‘Getting Better’ takes a broader look at loss and adversity, considering what it can mean to live well in spite of the dark times that can come to any of us.
Michael will be joining us on 24 June to talk about his experiences with our health services and share his perspective on health and wellness. The event is hosted by Cllr Ketan Sheth, who will also be welcoming questions from the audience.
Tickets are free and all are welcome. Book now - we hope to see you there.
Monday 24th June, 6-7pm, Zoom
