New survey on our mental health hub
We are aware, through our work, that people who have a “dual diagnosis” i.e. have a mental illness and co-existing use of alcohol or drugs, often fall between services. We plan to look into the services available for people in this situation, and to identify gaps, problems and any good practice in Suffolk and North East Essex (SNEE)that can be shared.
To make sure we hear from as many people as possible we have created a new confidential survey in which we
ask for your experience, good or bad, either personally, or as a family member/friend. Go to https://www.letstalksnee.co.uk/dual-diagnosis-improvement-survey/surveys/dual-diagnosis-improvement-survey to share your views.
Very Important Cancer Conversations
