The Powys Mental Health team invites you to a free conference they are organising in in Llandrindod Wells.
Shaping Services Together.
- Should the question underpinning how we shape our mental health services be “what has happened to you” rather than “what is wrong with you”? Main Speaker Jacqui Dillon.
- Do you use or have you ever used mental health services or are you close to someone who has? Do you think that your experiences of mental health services could help change how services are planned and delivered?
- Do you want to know how you, no matter what your age, might become more involved in shaping our mental health services nationally and locally?
- Key decision makers coming. Do you have something to say about the welfare benefit system and the changes?
Everyone welcome, all you need is you to be interested in the questions above. We can provide free transport to you if you live in Powys.
Lunch and refreshments will be available.
Thursday, 19th September 2013, 10:15 a.m – 4:00 p.m. The Pavilion, Spa Road, Llandrindod Wells, Powys LD1 5EY
