working for better mental health services for the people of North Staffordshire

Questionnaire

What do you think? Your opinion is important!

Hello

My name is Jackie and I am an Outreach Worker with North Staffs Users Group, an independent Mental Health Charity for people living in North Staffordshire who have personal experience of mental distress or illness.

We have been asked by the people who fund mental health services [NHS North Staffs] to find out what you, the people who use the services, think is important to help in your recovery.

• What do you think works well?
• What does not work well?
• Are there things missing here that are available in other areas?

We have designed a questionnaire for you to tell us what you think.

Your views and opinions are really important and will make a difference because they will be used to compile a report to go back to the funders to influence mental health services in the future. We shall then work to make sure that this is listened to and acted upon.

The questionnaire should take only a few minutes to complete and is completely anonymous — you will not be able to be identified by your responses because no names, addresses or contact details are needed.

You can download the questionnaire here, print it out and return free of charge to:

Freepost ST1947

We will let you know the results of our survey in our Spring '10 Edition of The Voice (our quarterly magazine). We’ll keep you informed of what happens as a result in future editions. A full copy of the report can be made available to you on request.

If you need any help or would like to talk with me about the questionnaire, please call me on 01782 683043 or e-mail me on jackie@nsug.co.uk.

Thanks for your help — I look forward to hearing from you.
