What's your mental health wish list?

To celebrate the end of 2009 Rethink Manchester Carers in Action have put together a ‘wish list’ of what we’d like mental health provision to look like in Manchester, covering areas such as use of the recovery model and involving carers and service users in staff training. We want to know what else you think should be on the list and would particularly like service users' views.
After the event we will be handing the wish list to Manchester Mental Health and Social Care Trust.
So whether you’re a service user, carer or professional, we hope you can come along, tell us what else you want on the wish list and join our festive celebration.
  • Wednesday 9th December 2009, 6-8pm

Buffet food and drinks will be provided

Please let us know if you’d like to come

A representative from the Trust came to our meeting last month to update us on plans for transport and the Trust's latest newsletter contains the following update on the service user and carer transport sub-group: "The group last met on 6 February and it was decided that another visitor questionnaire should be undertaken to make sure that we make the right  decisions about transport.  It was also agreed that more engagement and       communication with service users is necessary and  the service users and carers who attend the meetings will support this....
