Special
Bulletin No 13: Inner West Sydney Consumers and Carers ‘Partners in Recovery’
Forum
Wednesday
25 September 2013
Dear Consumers and
Carers,
On behalf of New Horizons,
NSW Consumer Advisory Group and Mental Health Carers ARAFMI NSW, we have the
pleasure of inviting you to the Inner West Sydney Consumers and Carers
‘Partners in Recovery’ (PIR) Forum, which will be held on the 10th October.
The day will comprise
two Forums. In the morning, issues relating to Carers will be addressed, and in
the afternoon, issues relating to Consumers will be addressed.
Some of the topics
include discussing what is currently available for Carers and Consumers in the
public mental health system, what Carers and Consumers think should be
available; and how PIR can start to meet these needs? This will lead into a
discussion about what PIR is and what it isn’t and how PIR can benefit Carers
and Consumers.
We are inviting
Carers to the Forum from 9.00am to 12.30pm while Consumers are invited to
attend from 12.30pm to 5.00pm. There will be a shared lunch from 12.30pm to
1.30pm, which will give everyone from the two Forums the opportunity to mingle
in a relaxed setting.
The Forum is for Inner
West Sydney Consumers and Carers, and, as such, is open to Carers and Consumers
from Canada Bay, Canterbury, Strathfield, Burwood, Ashfield, Marrickville,
Leichhardt and the City of Sydney.
Lunch and light
refreshments will be served on the day and metropolitan travel costs will be
reimbursed.
