We work in partnership with VCSE and Public sector partners to support mental health and wellbeing in Gloucestershire.
Mental Health Forum for VCSE groups & organisations in Gloucestershire
Rethink Mental Illness is establishing and developing new Mental Health forums for VCSE groups & organisations in Gloucestershire. We previously ran a mental health forum, and will be supporting the Rethink team by sharing information about their new forums, now they have been established.
The new Mental Health Forums will operate in five localities across the county (Stroud, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Forest and TWNS and Cotswolds). The purpose of these forums is to bring together VCSE and statutory organisations that provide support for people with mental ill health, and Experts by Experience (EBE), to develop pathways, identify training and provision gaps and coproduce solutions to local need.
If you signed up to one of Rethink’s previous listening events, you will shortly receive an invitation. If you would like to join one of the forums, or attend a different forum, please email This email address is being protected from spambots.

If you are a Cotswolds provider, please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. as Rethink will be arranging an engagement session for that locality shortly.
We provide regular updates about this work in our VCSE Sector News Bulletin, more information about our Bulletin and how to sign up can be found here.
