Facilitating and Joint Working

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

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 facilitate the Three Counties Armed Forces and Veterans Mental Health 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.

We developed and facilitated the advocacy network and this is now facilitated by the advocacy organisations.
