Hogger
Alison Hogger is a former
Mental Health Nurse also trained in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, a Therapy
which addresses self- harm. She currently runs ‘Keeping Health in Mind’, a
Christian mental health project with three aims: raising the profile of mental
health, reducing stigma and reaching out in love. Keeping Health in Mind is a
project which has arisen from the recognition of a growing need within our faith
communities, that of learning about and talking about mental health
difficulties. The project produces literature to help demystify mental health,
runs 'The Life Course', a six week coping skills course, and is growing a
Christian fellowship around issues of mental well being. Alongside this, Alison
is training for Pioneer Ordained Ministry within the Church of England, at St
Mellitus college in London.
