Support our wish list for mental health services in Manchester

By
At our Christmas party this week we launched our wish list for mental health services in Manchester. We're calling on service users, carers and people who work with us to sign up in support of the wish list. Here's how you can show your support:
1. Follow this link to download the wish list
2. Save it to your computer
3. Add in any comments you have and sign your name (just typing is fine - no need to sign in pen)
4. Email it to me or post it to Ruth Hannan, Manchester Carers Centre, Beswick Row, Manchester M4 4PR
At the end of January we'll collect up all the signed wish lists and send them to Manchester City Council, NHS Manchester and Manchester Mental Health and Social Care Trust.
The document I've linked to above is a summary version of the wish list, because we thought that not everyone has the time to read through a 10 page document! If you'd like to read the full wish list, click here to download.
We don't claim that the wish list is comprehensive or representative of the views of Manchester's carers and service users. So, we hope that you help us to improve it. You can do this by leaving comments on this blog or by adding your comments to the wish list before you send it back to us.

New confidential support group for carers!

By
Our group is developing our partnership with the Manchester Carers Centre (Carers Trust) to provide a confidential support group for carers. It will be an opportunity for carers to share their experiences in confidence with other carers of those who have a mental or physical illness. A carer can be anyone who cares for or about someone and can be a partner, sibling, family member, friend, colleague, neighbour etc. We will keep you informed about when this new service will start.
