Service User Involvement Empowerment through participation "As Service User Consultants we meet once a month, which I always find very interesting and informative. All of this has improved my confidence and self-esteem. I really feel that it’s a great way of getting our own voices/experiences heard and to challenge any bad practice in the system. The great thing about it is that you can become involved as much or as little as you wish" Service User Consultant "We found the contribution of the Service User Consultants invaluable. It was a really good use of our time and we will be implementing changes to our service in line with comments made on the day." Mental Health Service Provider - Day Hospitals
The Service User Involvement Project works with service users by encouraging, supporting, empowering and enabling them to become involved in the health and social issues affecting their lives. We believe that service users are best placed to consult on how services should respond to their needs. Mind in Brighton and Hove has five main areas of Service User Involvement:
