Housemates Returns

These two electric pieces of work originated from Brixton House's Housemates Festival in summer 2023, back to grace the stage for Housemates Returns in 2024. Is Dat U Yh? by dkfash: A time where laughter was free and nonsense was all we knew. Tamagotchis, Pokémon and alien babies. Tolu and the 'Back Of the Bus Queens' relive and rediscover their love of home, in this joyous and wacky adventure down memory lane. Surreal memories, short stories and nonsense! Theatre. Dance. Lyricism and school daze nostalgia! Before I Go by Tobi King Bakare: Ajani can talk. He can host parties, talk to girls, charm any living being. However, he finds it hard to express himself to the people he cares about the most. When he dies and gets stuck in Limbo, he is given an ultimatum: 'Learn how to "properly" communicate or remain here forever'. Ajani takes on the quest and embarks on a poetic journey of discovery, unlearning and healing. This edition was published to coincide with the start of the Housemates Returns productions at London's Brixton House Theatre in April 2024.

Dubbed the Housemate Homicide, it's a mystery that has baffled Australians for almost a decade. Melbourne-based journalist Olive Groves worked on the story as a junior reporter and became obsessed by the case. Now, nine years later, the missing housemate turns up dead on a remote property. Olive is once again assigned to the story, this time reluctantly paired with precocious millennial podcaster Cooper Ng. As Olive and Cooper unearth new facts about the three housemates, a dark web of secrets is uncovered. The revelations catapult Olive back to the death of the first housemate, forcing her to confront past traumas and insecurities that have risen to the surface again. What really happened between the three housemates that night? Will Olive's relentless search for the murderer put her new family in danger? And could her suspicion that the truth lies closer to home threaten her happiness and even her sanity?

Provides a comprehensive, practical approach to fully integrating people with serious mental illnesses into the community. Drawing from a range of resources, including mental health consumers and their families, this pathbreaking work lays the groundwork for a critical rethinking of how we view people labeled "mentally ill". Defining "community integration," the author examines current and past approaches to meeting the needs of people with psychiatric disabilities, demonstrating how they have been inadequate. Carling then maps out a pioneering paradigm for community integration, which consists of an active partnership among mental health professionals, community leaders, policy makers, families, neighbors, employers, and realtors. Describing ways to prepare the community to organize for change, the book discusses the need to first address the pervasive nature of stigma, which is reflected at every level of society. Drawing from his own extensive experience, as well as from firsthand observations of model programs in place throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Australia, the author offers detailed guidance for organizing a program of action in mental health systems and in local communities.

Many pet owners consider vet visits to be quite stressful and traumatic, but there is an emerging alternative that can dramatically improve those experiences for everyone. Cooperative care is based on the concept of providing as much information as possible to help all parties involved understand how to recognize stress in their animal clients, how to offset that stress using force-free training and management methods, provide a calming physical environment, and encourage the participation of both pet owners and trainers. With thirteen chapters, each written by experts in their fields and based on up-to-date research, Veterinary Cooperative Care seeks to equip the veterinary staff and their clients with the tools and knowledge needed to ensure that everyone looks forward to their next visit to the vet! What experts are saying about Veterinary Cooperative Care: Cooperative Care is the most important modern veterinary care buzzword. This amazing group of expert authors has captured the importance of recognizing and preventing fear, anxiety and stress, and they provide great examples of body language, facial expression, and communication signals that can help a clinician identify how a pet is feeling. This book offers valuable advice to relieve patient stress throughout their entire experience, from arrival to the clinic, examination and returning home; with tips for future visits and how to create a calm experience during end of life protocols. It is a must-read for every veterinary professional so we can finally standardize the respect and care that our animal family members need.

Amy L. Pike, DVM, DACVB, IAABC-CDBC What an amazing book! This work is packed full of useful and important information about cooperative care.
