Service User Network (Swindon)
(UK, 1116140) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00Service User Network Swindon,(SUNS) was founded in 1998. SUNS is a local charity run by mental health service users, with the aim of providing opportunities for service users to have a voice about the care they receive, by empowering them and providing opportunities for people to speak out. SUNS aims to support, train and encourage mental health service users to speak out about their experiences of mental health services. SUNS achieves its aims by attending and contributing to local NHS trust meetings. Service Users' feedback is gathered by providing a safe and friendly space in which service users can meet and discuss their experiences together and raise any concerns or examples of good practice. Where there are concerns, SUNS is able to contact care providers to ensure that appropriate care is given to service users. Part of this involves offering clubs and training open to all service users, in order to help build confidence, which will in turn help service users to contribute to meetings they attend. SUNS also works with its partner organistaion, Swindon Listening Line, which was set up in 2009. Swindon Listening Line is a telephone helpline which helps anyone in the Swindon area who feels worried, stressed or lonely, by offering a friendly ear, signposting people to organisations that can help them, and working alongside the local NHS crisis team. Service user feedback is also gathered in this way, and any calls which require further action are followed up on. Callers range from those wanting a quick chat to people who are in the midst of a suicide attempt; a number of lives have been saved by Swindon Listening Line, and it is felt that if people discuss their problems early, they are less likely to develop full-blown mental health problems.
