Dear Carers,

One of our carers was kind enough to share this resource as she believed it would be beneficial to mental health carers; it is an information pack on mental health services available in the Richmond Borough put together by the charity Ruils.

Please see the information below from their website:


Bridging the Gap
 
Just over 6 months ago a group of short and long term service users approached Ruils with an idea. They had struggled to negotiate their way through the complex web of mental health services and wanted to create a guide to help others who were in a similar circumstance to themselves. Inspired by an information booklet they had seen, working with Charlie and Linda (at Ruils), they set about on creating a pocket guide to mental health - Bridging the Gap.
 
If you would prefer a printed copy, please contact Ruils on 0208 831 6083 or email info@ruils.co.uk.
 
Thank you to Mary, Amber, Charlie, Linda, Terry and the volunteers who contributed to this guide.
 
We have done our best to ensure that the information in the Guide is correct. However, changes to legislation and service provision might affect the accuracy of some of the information. Where this could be important to you, you should check the details with the provider or contact a local advice centre. If you think something in this handbook is incorrect, please contact us and tell us.

Here is a link to the booklet:
