  • Other new projects in early stages of development include several new ideas including developing crisis support services and Advocacy for children and young people experiencing mental health problems.
  • Mental Health Information packs have been developed and distributed.
  • Mental Health training has been delivered to 150 people.
  • A national conference in Cardiff was organised with Mental Health Action Wales promoting the skills and professionalism of the mental health voluntary sector, and the importance of mental health recovery. Over 30 people from Carmarthenshire attended, and found it to be an informative and inspirational conference.
  • Ongoing support has been provided to a number of groups and organisations.

Support has also been given to Rhwydwaith to develop Open meetings called Choices, which have been well attended by service users with very positive comments and outcomes from the events. Rhwydwaith is a network of service users, whose aim is to ensure that the voices of service users are heard in the planning, developing and commissioning of services.
