Tell us about your experiences of working in mental health
A poignant response to our ongoing mental health survey:
"I have been working in Mental Health for over 25 years. I love working with mental health service users & supporting them to manage their mental health difficulties & achieve life goals. However, over the past 5 years, the cuts to services (both within NELFT & in voluntary services) has made it far more difficult to provide a good service. Over the past two years, lack of staff & resources has made it impossible to do anything other than fire-fight.
"I feel sad for all the service users not getting the service they deserve and demoralised at how over-worked myself & my colleagues are so that we cannot do our jobs properly."
Tell us about your experiences?
If you work in mental health services in the NHS, NELFT, Local Authority or voluntary sector we want to hear from you about the challenges you are facing and how this impacts on your own well being as well as people who use our services.
You can take part in our short survey here
