Mad Campaigns Lab is a space for NSUN members (individuals with lived experience of mental ill-health, distress, and/or trauma, as well as grassroots, user-led mental health groups). If you are not already a member, sign up for free here.
Next session: Big tech & Mental Health (with Mad Youth Organise)
Part 1: 8th April, 4.00-5.30pm: Panel & discussion
How does Big Tech shape and impact mental health? Who profits from our distress? Join NSUN & Mad Youth Organise for a panel and group discussion on Big Tech and mental health.
Part 2: 15th April, 4.00-5.30pm: Action session
How do we stand up to Big Tech? Join the NSUN team for an action session, identifying key players in the fight against Big Tech and turning our learnings into tangible campaigning goals. This workshop is preceded by part 1 on April the 8th – attendance at both sessions is encouraged but not compulsory.
About Mad Campaigns Lab
Mad Campaigns Lab is a monthly online meet-up for folks interested in campaigning around mental healthcare, Mad liberation, and Disability justice. Free to join and open to all NSUN members, regardless of policy & campaigning experience.
Our 2026 programme focuses on issues that intersect with mental ill-health, distress, or trauma. The aim of the sessions are to:
- Expand understandings of issues which are connected to mental ill-health, distress, or trauma
- Develop a broader awareness of what ‘counts’ as mental health work
- Create spaces for knowledge sharing on mental health and Disability justice
Design campaigning goals; identifying key players and strategies for change
Who is it led by?
The space is led by Courtney Buckler (she/they), Head of Policy and Campaigns and Kieran Lewis (he/him), Rights and Migration Policy Manager. We will also be joined by other members of the NSUN team to support with tech, moderation, and access.
Group agreement
By signing up you agree to:
- Follow NSUN’s online event conduct agreement.
- Maintain confidentiality by not sharing information about Lab members, actions, or campaigns beyond the meeting.
- Not share the Zoom link/joining instructions with anybody else. Our sign-up process helps us to track how many people will be joining, and to prevent (as best as possible) the unlikely event of folks joining in bad faith.
- The full group agreement, which was developed with members at our first meeting and will be shared during the sessions and updated as and when the group feels it is necessary.
