The Benefits of Service User Involvement

Produced for Together: Working for Wellbeing (a UK based community mental health charity), this short film demonstrates the importance and benefits of service user involvement.

The people interviewed in this inspirational film are all members of Together's Service User Involvement directorate.

The ervice User Involvment Directorate is one thing that sets Together apart from other mental health organisations. This important arm of the organisation gives people with experience of accessing mental health services a say at a local, regional and national level.

Together is committed to ensuring that people who experience mental distress are respected and represented at the planning stage of mental health service provision and have the same rights as any other member of the community.

I have an interview with Together tomorrow. I am more excited than nervous, as my approach to mental health is compatible with the ethos of Together. Advocacy, education, holistic individual-based support. I very much hope to be successful in my application. Kind regards to all service users and workers.
