Healthy Minds (Thinking Ahead in Rochdale) are our talking therapy services and we want to make them the best possible.
You might hear them called 'improving access to psychological therapy' (IAPT) services, and their aim is to help people with anxiety and depression reclaim their lives and recover from their emotional difficulties.
We're looking for people (and those close to them) from all backgrounds, identities and groups, who have used the service, to join our new patient council.
This will help us:
The consultant clinical lead for these services will also join the council, so she can hear directly from you and help take forward your views and suggestions.
Meetings will be held monthly and you can attend online or in person.
We offer payment for your time and experience, as well as any agreed expenses. We can also offer support and training to assist in the role.
For more information please contact Ashleigh or Lynette on 0161 716 3178 or involvement.penninecare@nhs.net
