Healthy Minds Forum
|
The Forum is a space for
people with direct experience of mental-health problems or emotional distress
to share their experiences, have their say about local services and feed into national campaigns.
At previous meetings we have focused on the use of physical restraint, information sharing, access to medical records, media portrayal of mental health and the experiences of parents who use mental-health services. Amongst other things this has resulted in some people who have used services being involved in the group creating policies around physical restraint locally, a radio programme being recorded and broadcast about people's experiences of being a parent who has experienced mental-health problems and postcards being created to challenge negative media portrayal of mental-health problems. For more information please contact Tamsin on tamsin@healthymindscalderdale.co.uk or 01422 345154 |

Forum members were asked to contribute to a regional conference on the Crisis Care Concordat in July this year. They made a video, recording their lives over one week and recounting their personal experiences of crisis care.
The conference was covered in our August newsletter and we will update on progress through the Forum. |
