Carers of People with Mental Health Problems

Carers joining together...

	to have a say in mental health services - now and in the future.
	to help make sure that services give carers the support they need.
	to improve services so that they better meet the needs of people using them, and their carers.

The main purpose of the project is to encourage family members and friends (carers) who support someone with a mental health problem, to become more involved in influencing and informing the commissioning of mental health services.

You may say "been there, done that - waste of time" but, if you do not say what is wrong - and what is right - and how you think things can be improved, you will miss the opportunity to influence the services provided.  Those who commission them will not know what your needs are.  We need to build on what is working and improve things that aren't.

If carers join together they can become a force that has to be heard!

I can't...WE can
