Mental Health Workers’ Inquiry (MHWI) are a new group of workers organising in and beyond the mental health services sector. Together, we aim to increase our understanding of the nature of work and ownership, as well as to explore clinical approaches that foreground anti-capitalism and anti-imperialism. Our primary purpose is to develop ways of marrying member-led trade union organising with innovative financial vehicles to transform our current workplaces from within. In addition to creating new institutions, we propose radically to re-imagine those that already exist.
