Have you used Mental Health services?

Are you a carer?

We are looking at how we reward and recognise people who get involved in Mental Health Services in Cwm Taf Morgannwg. For example, sharing ideas, experiences and opinions, it could also include working with others to design, deliver and evaluate services, mental health policies and procedures.

We want to hear from people with experience of mental ill health and the friends and families (carers) who support them. The information we collect in the survey will be used to find the best way to reward and recognise the involvement of people with lived experience of mental illness in improving services in the future.
