We are very pleased to announce that the Dorset Mental Health Forum is supporting the Mind Your Head Conference and Showcase by being a sponsor, providing delegates and a stand. We welcome them to be part of our steering group as they bring a wealth of knowledge, experience and contacts. This is an exciting opportunity to make the event on August 12th an even greater success.

The Dorset Mental Health Forum is a Dorset-wide-independent charity run and led predominantly by people who have experienced mental health problems. The Forum focuses on well-being and recovery and this fits very well with our own aims. It employs about 40 staff and has a range of projects across Dorset and ongoing developments, funded in a number of different ways – including contracts from local statutory organisations, a grant from the Big Lottery fund and social enterprise income. It provides information for mental health service users and their carers, the general public and statutory services. It provides day services, an advocacy service and mental health awareness training.
