CAPITAL FAQ's
We are a dedicated Mental Health Lived Experience Network – challenging and changing Mental Health Care for the future!
We sit independently of support services and networks, collaborating to improve mental health experiences.
We co-produce with our local partners and organisations (including the NHS and Council driven services) to provide lived experience insight and recommendations.
We represent those of all backgrounds and experiences, and champion those with reduced access and opportunities and support networks.
