Tell us about: accessing adult mental health services

Difficulties in accessing mental health services was one of the key themes in the feedback we received on mental health services through our listening survey.
We are inviting people to share their experience of accessing local mental health services.

There are a range of ways you can get involved; we are hosting focus groups, both online and in-person. After the in-person focus groups, we are offering drop-in sessions, where you can pop in and share feedback in a more informal setting.
 
You can register for any session on our events page. If you would like to share the link with someone who may be interested in attending, its www.healthwatchstokeontrent.co.uk/events
 
To share your feedback anonymously, wherever you are, complete our online survey or scan the QR code below.
