Join our community by becoming a Suffolk User Forum member

Would you like to play an active role in shaping mental health services in East and West Suffolk? By sharing your lived experiences alongside professionals, you can help develop, improve, and influence mental health support services for the better.

Our membership is free and open to everyone, including those who use mental health services, family/parent carers, and anyone interested in our work within the sector.

We invite you to share your feedback on the services you have received. Your input will remain anonymous, helping providers understand how people experience their services and where improvements are needed.

We will keep you informed about improvements, provide self-care, wellbeing, and mental health information, and offer opportunities for your involvement in improvement and coproduction projects.

Become a member today and join a community focused on making a positive impact on mental health and wellbeing.
