There is no commitment.
You can come to any Forum meetings that you want to. If you only want to come every so often that's fine. Or if you have a specific matter that you would like us to discuss.
New members are always welcome.
· If you have had a Mental Health problem.
· If you are still experiencing a Mental Health problem.
· If you are a Carer of someone who has had/still has a Mental Health problem
· If you have an interest in Mental Health in all its aspects.
How often does the Forum meet?

Aims and Objectives
Allowing Service Users living on the Fylde coast to meet together and discuss their concerns, their needs, and their views.
Prompting appropriate action by Health and Social Services, etc.
Acting, therefore, as a point of contact between those receiving Mental Health services and those providing Mental Health services.
Hopefully, promoting a higher degree of public awareness about Mental Health.
What will you achieve by getting involved?
Meeting with people who have/had similar problems.
The chance to influence the future of Mental Health services.
Being personally involved (if you choose to be) in how local services are run. For example - Interview panels, review meetings, committees.
