Experience and innovation: working in partnership

Following the success of the conference celebrating Mind's 60th anniversary,

and the National Survivor User Network. The event will:
Provide a forum for sharing experience and knowledge
Celebrate the skills and talent we have within the service user movement
Help to foster partnership working between groups
Formally launch the National Survivor User Network
Free places:
As well as paying places there are also a number of free places (including
help towards transport costs) available at this event. Due to the postal

Wednesday 17 October.

Access to justice: creating equality for people with mental health problems
Regents College Conference Centre, 29 November 2007
The problem:
People with experience of mental distress are more likely to be the victims
of crime, including disability hate crime, domestic violence, elder abuse
and anti-social behaviour.
Mind believes that victims and witnesses with experience of mental distress
are not, at present, adequately served by the criminal justice system and by
other mechanisms for redress, including health service complaints
procedures.
What can we do?
This conference will be the first step in raising awareness amongst key
stakeholders in the criminal justice world of the need to provide a more
flexible and responsive service for victims and witnesses experiencing
mental distress.

We hope to see you there!
Best wishes,
