People with severe mental illnesses are experiencing inequalities in receiving annual health check appointments.
SWYPFT and Cloverleaf Advocacy are looking for people with experience of a severe mental illness to be part of our design group. This will involved helping development with Wakefield-specific marketing and communications to encourage people to attend their health check.
The group will work with professionals for South West Yorkshire, alocal artist and the local ICB to look at all kinds of media to advertise and give information about the annual health check.
The NICE guidelines state that a severe mental illness is a diagnoses of: psychosis, schizophrenia and bi-polar disorder.
Members will be paid for their time and involvement.
If you are interested or know somebody that would be interested in participating, please contact Tracey Williams on 07764 329262.
