Have your say about mental health and addiction services in the MDHB district

20/10/2011 | Mental Health Public Forums

The Mental Health and Addiction District group will be holding a number of public forums throughout the MDHB district in November.

The group is seeking to understand from service users and others how support and care can be better provided across the district. This is a free forum, open to the general public, clinicians and related inter agencies to come together to discuss issues and plan how to improve mental health and addiction care for the community.

The information gained will be used by the District Group to develop a work plan which will be implemented by a number of small working parties.  The work plan will also include relevant national, regional and local mental health and addiction priorities and actions.
