Mental health service users are being asked to share their experiences at a drop-in session this weekend – where an artist will be on hand to capture their stories in a series of drawings.
The event will be held from 10:00 to 14:00 on Saturday 19 July at The Diner on New St James Place.
Feedback from the session will be used to form a new five-year strategy for mental health services, which is due to be published next year.
The event will be hosted by Mental Health Director Andy Weir, alongside the mental health team and people with lived experience.
Service users and their loved ones will be asked:
- What has helped you in your mental health recovery?
- What would you like to see change in mental health services?
- What does good mental health support look like to you?
- What should we prioritise in the next five years?
As part of the session, an artist will draw pictures based on what people say.
Those who attend will also be given the opportunity to draw or write their thoughts as part of the process, and snacks will be provided.
