Have your say in two consultations

We're launching two consultations because we want your views on both our support for people who are autistic and/or have learning disabilities, and how we support older people to live independently.

Learning disability support

You'll be able to have your say on our proposals to change some day services so that people with learning disabilities and/or who are autistic can lead the lives they choose to.

Sing Viva Carers Choirs are free for all carers in Derby and Chesterfield

Part time, fulltime and sandwich carers are encouraged to join, although no one would be turned away that wanted to take part.

People wanting to attend can attend in person or online via Zoom (with televisions ensuring people are comfortable, but also feel part of the sessions and in the room). The sessions are also a great excuse for drinking tea, eating cake and having a chat and this super friendly social aspect is just as important to health and wellbeing benefits.

JOIN MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID NETWORK

Have you completed Mental Health First Aid Training and live/work in Derbyshire or Derby City? 

 

Why not come and join our new Mental Health First Aid Network. This is the opportunity to have a safe space to discuss challenges, problem solving and share best practice.

 

As a Mental Health First Aider, you get to use your skills to support your community, but we want to give you a space for peer support around being your role as a Mental Health First Aider.
