Users and Carers

Support groups

In September 2006 we heard from Jo Mullen who set up an independent local user group in Moray with the help of Lisa Edwards a Community Mental Health Nurse and the support of NHS Grampian.

Jo Mullen's model appears to be a successful format and at the workshop in Glasgow people were able to sign up if they were interested to advance the work. We are now sponsoring Jo and Lisa to offer workshops to interested groups across Scotland looking at ways that the model might be implemented and evaluated. It is envisaged the SPDN website will have a role keeping the groups in touch with Jo and each other for support and advice.
