Mental Health Alliance Survey
A very important survey is currently being carried out by the Mental Health Alliance.
The UK Government is considering changes to legislation and the Alliance want you to tell them what you think will improve the lives of their clients and their carers.
Please complete the survey as soon as possible and also encourage everyone you have contact with to do the same – there have been over 2,400 responses so far but less than 70 of those are from Wales so they really need to get the Welsh perspective heard.
To take part go to: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/mentalhealthactsurvey
