Mental Health Forum For Cowal

I would like to direct you to the page:-
Service “User” involvement
and then I would like to ask the question? have the Service “Users” been adequately helped to participate in the consultation process,
There have been a number of workshops which the service “users” and their carers/families have been invited to:- but have these workshops been accessable to the service “users”
what do I mean by this:-
Advertisement of the “workshops” :- was it adequate
Transport :- was there enough transport laid on so services “Users” and care givers could attend the workshops
Presentation of the “Opinions”:- was the presentations of the opinions and subsequent details easy to understand
Length of the “Workshops”:- was the day too long ?
and if the answer is no to any of the above could a different approch be taken.
for example better advertizement, a workshop in each “Locality”, a different presentation of the “opinions”, shorter “Workshops”. if its the intention for the services “user” to be properly involved he or she must be given the “Tools” to be able to participate fully and these are the questions that have to be asked.
