ROLEcamp

We’re a group of 12 people who all have lived experience of mental health problems. People who’ve survived or are using mental health services, or prefer not to use them, or people who care about or support someone who’s experiencing mental distress. Elsewhere people use the terms ’service user’ or ‘carer’, but we prefer one term that covers it all – we don’t like being labelled as either one thing or another.

We want to put on an event for people across the North West to come together to develop a set of outcomes which relate to our experience. 

ROLEcamp will focus on service user and carer involvement and participation. We will run a day of workshops, to focus on various topics, and developing a set of outcomes for each specific topic.

Discrimination will be a key message within the event. We believe that discrimination is a major barrier to accepting the views of people with lived experience on an equal level.
