Carers Forum (in-person)

Our next Carers Forum will be on Thursday, 19th May from 11:00am-2:00pm.

We will be meeting in person at our offices of Great Michael House, 14 Links Place EH6 7EZ.

We're very much looking forward to welcoming you back again! Lunch will be provided on the day, with teas & coffees available.

At the Carers Forum on 19th May, we will be discussing the Scottish Mental Health Law Review, and how carers can input their views to make a difference. The Review is now in its Phase 3, which means they are seeking views on their ideas and proposals for changes to mental health and incapacity law. Your views will help the review team to refine, change or add to their ideas. This will then allow them to pull together a final set of recommendations for the Scottish Government later this year.

If you haven't been to a Carers Forum before....
The Carers Forum is a great opportunity to meet other carers who may be in similar situations. It is a safe space to raise issues that are important to you as a carer so we can then collectively work together to raise carers' voices and create change.  The Carers Forum is also a good place to receive the latest news relating to carers and mental health. We can arrange for speakers to join us at Forums to talk about issues that are meaningful for you.
