Sefyll

Creating postive change in mental health services by involving and utilising the expertise of the people who use them.

Sefyll is a project set up to involve people who use mental health services to have a say in the way that those services are run, planned and developed.
It's a chance to come together with other service users to have a say about the services you use.

Ways to get involved
• Events, conferences and workshops - Meet with other people who use
mental health services to share your views and experiences in a friendly
and relaxed environment. Events have included opportunities to share your
views about: your Community Mental Health Team, talking therapies, and
what you think about complementary therapies.
• Receive information about what’s going on in mental health locally - get
your name on our mailing list and receive monthly mail outs about events,
news and opportunities. We’re also always looking for budding journalists to
help write, edit and design our newsletter.
• Help to choose staff working in mental health for the NHS - attend
training to enable you to sit on interview panels alongside mental health
professionals and choose who should be working for you.
• Represent the views of other service users at meetings - influence the way
that services are developed by collecting the views of other people who use
mental health services and sharing them at planning meetings with the
Health Board, Social Services and the Voluntary Sector.
•Training - learn new skills or refresh old ones. Our courses aim to give
you the tools, techniques and confidence to influence the development
and delivery of services. With courses to suit all levels - whether you’re
interested in attending a meeting for the first time or you’re already a
seasoned service user representative.
