New Involvement Worker

Hello! I am the new Involvement Worker for Klacksun and have been in post since the middle of November. I have been becoming more familiar with the role, attending meetings on behalf of Klacksun and trying to get to know the membership.

 

Hopefully everyone currently active in Klacksun has heard from me or had the opportunity to meet me. If not, what's stopping you! Please feel free to pop in and see me, I am available in the office on Tuesdays, Wednesday, Thursdays 'till 4pm and Fridays 9am-12pm (best phone to make sure I am not in a meeting first though, 01259 215048) or see me at one of Klacksun meetings on the last Wednesday of each month.

 

Updates and information on the sub-groups Klacksun are involved in will hopefully be winging it's way to you either by email or post over the next few weeks and months and I look forward to working with each of you in the future!

 

With thanks,

 

James Mackenzie.

Welcome To The Klacksun Website

Need help now? Click here to find local and national help and resources.

 

 

Klacksun is the Clackmannanshire Service Users Network. The voice of people who use mental health services.

 

We are an organisation whose objective is to empower mental health service users through involvement in all aspects of their care.

 

This website is being developed in conjunction with people who have experienced mental health issues and through it we hope to:

 

provide you with information about statutory and voluntary mental health services in Clackmannanshire and Forth Valley;

 

keep you up to date with developments in mental health through our news pages and newsletters;

 

give you an opportunity to express your views, confidentially, on current issues;

 

 

offer a forum where you can exchange information and views with others who may have similar experiences of mental health issues and services;

 

provide links to other websites and resources related to mental health

 

This is YOUR website. If you think there is something which could feature in the website, let us know. Contact us...

 
Newsletters

Newsletters are published at regular intervals and are available to read or download here. Simply click on the News menu, select Newsletters and then the appropriate Newlsetter you want to view. You will be able to download your own private copy to save and/or print.

Put Forward Your Views

One of our main reasons for developing the website is to allow the widest cross section of people access to air their views and put forward suggestions for improvements to services.

 

Are you interested in having your say, putting Your Views across?   We would love to hear from you. At the moment we are not able to gather views on a specific topic but would still like to hear from you via email. Remember that Integrated Mental Health Services in Clackmannanshire are interested in hearing what you have to say. Click on our NEWS section for details on Tell Us What You Think.

 

 
Get Involved

There are plenty of opportunities for people to get involved in a way they feel comfortable.

 

We meet on a monthly basis to discuss issues raised by people who use mental health services in Clackmannanshire and to work out the best ways to raise these issues. However, other people are also involved in meetings and groups with statutory and voluntary services, developing ways to ensure that information for people who use mental health services is readily accessible.
