Mind Brighton and Hove

Would you like to share your experience of having difficulty accessing mental health services ?

Mind in Brighton & Hove’s LiVE project is for people with lived experience of mental health issues (either their own or those of someone they care for). Our members have an interest in improving local mental health services and in local wellbeing information & events.

Currently the project is compiling a short report for the Brighton & Hove Clinical Commissioning Group (which commissions and develops some of our local mental health services), about people’s experiences of falling between mental health services and how this has affected them.

If you would like to contribute to the report by providing feedback on your experience, you can do this by:

• Completing our online survey: www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/mentalhealthsupportaccesssurvey
• If you would be happy to talk in more detail and share your experience as a case study, you can also email esme.campbell@mindcharity.co.uk or call 01273 66 69 64 (working hours Wednesday-Thursday only, 9am-5pm). We would like to include up to 5  case studies in the report.

We are aware that this topic has potential to generate lots of interest. If this is the case, we will consider looking at this topic in further detail next year.

Mind in Brighton and Hove's Wellbeing in the City service has organised a range of events during December, including:

• An introduction to eco-therapy
• A Wellbeing workshop on Coping with Christmas
