Adult Mental Health drop-in event

15 July 2025

The Mental Health Team is calling on Islanders who have used their services to share their views to help develop the service going forwards. 

They are developing a new five-year strategy for mental health services, and it is important that the voice of people who use the services help shape this. 

A drop-in event will be held between 10am and 2pm on Saturday 19 July at The Diner on New St James Place. 

Andy Weir, the Director of Mental Health, the Mental Health Team and people with Lived Experience will host the session, which will ask service users and their loved ones: 

1. What has helped you in your mental health recovery? 
2. What would you like to see change in mental health services? 
3. What does good mental health support look like to you? 
4. What should we prioritise in the next five years? 

As part of the session an artist will draw pictures based on what people say. Those who attend will also be given the opportunity to draw or write their thoughts as part of the process and snacks will be provided.

Feedback from the session will be used to form the new Mental Health Strategy which is due to be published in 2026.​
