During the winter and following spring of 2009 a group of writers, poets and artists, all of whom have at some time been users of mental health services, work-shopped together to create a single volume to celebrate World Mental Health Day. It is hoped that this volume will alleviate the prejudice with which mental health issues are still viewed. A challenging and rewarding read, Footsteps without Prints is both autobiographical and fiction. It depicts footsteps in life through a variety of forms; including articles, poems, artwork and photographs.
There will be books available, individuals reading from the book and mental health information Stalls

“With Mental Health problems, you can get lost. With Art you can find out who you are” Quote from a service user
Pembrokeshire Mental Health Forum will be holding another Open Forum Event on
17th September at Letterston Memorial Hall, 11am – 4pm.
The theme of the event will be “Talking Therapies”, what they are, what is available, are you eligible, are there enough options?
A Buffet Lunch will be available and the ever popular Pamper Session in the afternoon.
We set these Open Forum Events up about 3 years ago as a way to increase the numbers of people who would recieve information and we could get feedback from on local issues. We are dependent on LHB funding for the Forum to put on these events which are very popular in that we are getting between 40 -60 people at each time. We have a speaker on a particular subject, followed by workshops, lunch and then the pamper session. So far this has been a popular format and, funding available, will continue into the future.
