Service User Engagement, Carers & Supporters

14 June, 2022

Opportunities open to join a mental health advisory group

A group of four people sit around a table while having a discussion.

St Patrick’s Mental Health Services (SPMHS) is inviting family members, carers and supporters of people going through mental health recovery to join an advisory group.

The advisory group is set up to ensure that new developments in SPMHS are monitored and shaped by people who have experience in using mental health services, along with their family members and supporters.

We believe that those who support people going through mental health recovery have unique perspectives and expertise which is invaluable in shaping the future of mental health services.

Family Members, Carers and Supporters Advisory Network

Family Members, Carers and Supporters Advisory Network

Family members, carers and supporters of our current or former service users are invited to join our Family Members, Carers and Supporters (FCS) Advisory Network.

We set up the FCS Advisory Network to enable us to engage and consult with people who support our service users. This ensures that the views and perspectives of our service users’ family members, carers and supporters are included as we develop and implement our new strategic plan.

FCS Advisory Network members will be kept informed about focus groups and consultation forums which they can attend. These groups provide the opportunity for us to present ideas to the network, and for members to share their ideas and opinions on these.

Members will also be invited to join working groups and steering committees for new projects. They can join our Service User and Supporters Council (SUAS) too.

To join the FSC Advisory Network, simply complete the registration form further down this page. By doing so, you will be added to the FSC Advisory Network mailing list, where you will receive regular updates about opportunities to take part in various groups or projects. You will also be kept informed about events and initiatives that may be of interest to you. There is no obligation to take part in the different groups and projects, and you can opt out of the network and mailing list at any time.
