Local Forums and Networks

WWAMH assists groups and individuals to play a key role as equal partners in local services, mental health development and planning procedures.

LOCAL FORUMS: These exist in each area to bring together service users, carers and representatives of voluntary organisations to:

  • Share information
  • Offer mutual support
  • Elect representatives to planning meetings
  • Communicate effectively with statutory bodies
  • Campaign for better services
  • Identify local priorities.
  • We continue to chair the Three Counties Advocacy Strategy Group, West Wales Mental Health Voluntary Sector Ex Service Personnel Network, Three Counties Mental Health Carers Network.
    We also facilitate a range of service user, carer and provider networks on a county and regional level.

CONSULTATION: To promote a wide range of consultation including:

  • Public meetings
