Leaders in the field of mental health will meet in Mayo on May 17 and 18 next to meet providers, service users, carers, and family members and to overview the services and share information on how inclusion at all levels, clinical, operational, and strategic is being promoted within the service.
Ireland as a whole will become the focus for members of the International Initiative for Mental Health Leadership (IIMHL ) with mental health leaders from throughout the world coming to various parts of Ireland to visit services, exchange information, and develop networks. Following this, the visitors will go on to the organisation meeting and conference in the INEC in Killarney.
Mayo has been selected as a host site for one of these exchanges, with particular reference to the mental health recovery services. The theme of the Mayo visit is “Realising Recovery through Inclusion and Partnership”. The focus of the visit will be on the initiatives in the services to foster joint working by service users, carers/family members, and providers at clinical, operational and strategic levels.
