MENTAL HEALTH NORTH EAST
INTRODUCTION
Mental Health North East (MHNE) is a coalition of third ...sector and voluntary organisations that provide mental health services in the north east of England. MHNE uses its combined voice to represent the sector at all levels of government, commissioning and strategic, health and social arenas. MHNE was formed in 2005 to promote joint working and partnershi
p across the Voluntary/Not for Profit mental health sector to:
■ Promote best practice in mental health to ensure high quality provision for, and partnership with service users.
■ Strengthen the role of the mental health voluntary and community sector on a regional basis.
■ Enable the mental health voluntary and community sector to play a greater role in the delivery of mental health services in the region.
■ Support locality based networks and forums for the mental health voluntary sector. PURPOSE
MHNE is built around a core belief that a strong, vibrant, diverse yet united voluntary and community sector is essential for the development of mental health services and for the improvement of the emotional health and well being of the region.Our purpose is to represent our member organisations and bring them together. For MHNE and its member organisations to succeed, it is vital that the cause of good mental health is promoted wherever possible. MHNE seeks to reduce the stigma attached to mental health issues. MHNE seeks to include young people in its aims and in its work to ensure that new generations are involved in mental health in the north east of England. MHNE's board, staff and our committed volunteers do their utmost to facilitate joint working, to share information, and to provide a 'conduit for contact' between individual members, and between members and statutory bodies at a strategic level. To function successfully we depend on the meaningful input of all our member organisations. This includes feedback, comments and suggestions regarding the service we provide. This page is a companion site to our online web portal, E-Bulletin and Twitter accounts. We hope within this group to keep our members regularly informed as to the activities MHNE is involved in, maintain to post regional events relevant to our aims, and to promote debate by posting topical issues around mental health. We also welcome posts by our members that uphold the same ethos that MHNE is trying to achieve. Feel free to join in, post messages and events, spread the word about MHNE and enjoy participating in making this site as interactive as possible. Best wishes from MHNE Admins
