What do you think about the help available for people with mental health difficulties in Sheffield?

A Mental Health Strategy for 2014 and beyond

THIS ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITY IS NOW CLOSED. 

Thank you to the people who have contributed. 

We asked people:

The last Sheffield Strategy for Mental Health and Well-Being was published in 2009. The Mental Health Partnership Board is now updating the strategy for the next five years to reflect recent Mental Health policy guidance and to recognise the views and wishes of service users and their carers and we need your help. 

We need to understand the experience of service users and carers who seek help when it is needed, and to understand what assists them in their journey of “recovery”. We need to find out what is working and what is not; what helps at those decisive moments and what does not?

We want to know from you what you think needs to be different or changed over the next 3 – 5 years to improve the experience of getting help about mental health and illness.  In particular:

“If you could change three things about mental health services and support what would they be?” Please tell us why, particularly using your own personal experience if you can.

Details on the Mental Health policy guidance and current priorities can be found here.
