"I’ve learnt so many things with doing this course..."

We have had many invites onto other panels to voice our opinions in regards to mental health in our communities. We are being listened too, valued members of the public. I’ve learnt so many things with doing this course, from finding out how many services there are available to people needing/using mental health provisions, how deprivation is very high due to all the cuts within local councils, due to austerity policies. I’ve been on further learning courses, completed peer to peer training around mental health, and made links with volunteer Dundee.
