Bringing Together the Mental Health Voluntary Sector

What is the Mental Health Forum?

The Forum is an umbrella group of voluntary mental health organisations working in the City and County of Swansea.

The Mental Health Development Service facilitates and supports the Forum and its members.

The aims of the Forum are:

To be a focal point for mental health organisations working locally.
To act as a force for change in services provided for people with mental health problems.
To debate and promote the consideration of new and creative patterns of mental health services.
To promote high standards of service provision and good practice in mental health.

We do this by:

Participation -

Promoting interagency co-operation.

Responding to consultation documents.

Maximising the voluntary sector's contribution to the planning and delivery of mental health services.

Information –

Sharing information on good practice and on a variety of mental health related issues.

Producing a regular newsletter.

Raising public awareness through displays, promotions and events.

Training –

Promoting quality training for voluntary and statutory organisations.

Supporting users and carers –
