This workshop brings together people with lived experience of mental illness, carers, community members, and professionals 
to co-produce ideas that strengthen mental health inclusion across health and social care.

Facilitated by Alan Bellinger and Kevin Minier, long-standing volunteers and advocates for personalised care, the session supports 
the development of the Patient Engagement Platform (PEP) Mental Health Working Group. 
The aim is to ensure that lived experience remains central to shaping the evolving health and social care system, especially 
during ongoing structural changes.

The workshop also explores how we can work with Viewpoint to promote and share personal experiences of drugs, alcohol, and 
mental health to influence positive change.
