Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board Mental Health and Learning Disabilities Division, Caniad and Co-Production Network Wales are presently organising multiple engagement events across North Wales in November
We would like to invite people with Lived Experience of Mental Health Services, Learning and disabilities, Carers/Supporters in North Wales to come along and be involved at the events to help look at:
· How can we get better at listening to the people we serve?
· How can we build better community and service user relationships?
· What do we need to do to create honest and safe communications channels and spaces?
Your Voice, Experience and Knowledge are needed to develop and guide a new Service User and Carer Engagement and Involvement Strategy that embraces these questions and more.
The strategy is the plan for how people with lived experience and carers and learning disabilities can contribute, as partners, to the planning, delivery, and evaluation of Mental Health Services in North Wales
This is an ambitious project and needs as many people as possible with lived or living experience of Mental Health Services to be involved in its development.
Please do get in touch as well if you would like to hear more about the events or any other activities.
Please feel free to contact us at caniad@caniad.org.uk or BCU.Ican@wales.nhs.uk
