Gavin Francis: The Unfragile Mind – EIBF Live Stream
AK Bell Library
York Place, Perth, PH28EP
Date
Live stream direct from the Edinburgh International Book Festival
In conjunction with Edinburgh International Book Festival, we are delighted to present this special livestream event with Gavin Francis.
Between 30-50% of GP consultations now concern mental health. As a GP for over 20 years, Gavin Francis has had a front row seat to society’s changing ideas of mental illness.
The Unfragile Mind draws on hundreds of conversations with patients and specialist colleagues about mental suffering and how best to ease it. With Karine Polwart today, he argues that society’s current approach is overly rigid, and would benefit from more curiosity, humility, kindness, and hope.
Please note: this event is streamed at AK Bell Library in partnership with the Edinburgh International Book Festival.
