Learn about the Mission, Vision, and Objectives of Suffolk User Forum.
Our Vision
Where lived experience is at the heart of all mental health services, making the principle of “nothing about us, without us” a reality.
Our Mission
We empower people with lived experience of severe and enduring mental ill health, including those in primary care, secondary care, and inpatient settings, to actively shape and influence mental health services. Through co-creating inclusive spaces, we ensure that every voice is heard, respected, and central to decision-making.
