Become a Caniad Involver

Could you help to shape a brighter future for mental health, substance misuse and community well-being?

 

There are many ways in which to support Caniad and people choose to engage in a variety of ways. Our service has been built upon a ladder of participation model; a framework that allows people to contribute as much or as little as they like from informal involvement all the way through to volunteering or paid employment, for more information on this please click the button below.

     Engagement Opportunities

    People from all walks of life become our service users and carers, and their diverse backgrounds bring our service to life. We know that some might want to get involved a little or a lot. That’s why we made a system where you can contribute in different ways – from sharing your thoughts now and then, to helping as a volunteer, or even working for us and getting paid.

    • Carrying out Value-Based Interviews – aiding in health board personnel recruitment.
    • Joining events to promote Caniad.
