Do you use, or have you used the Irish Mental Health Services?

Or

Have you a family member who has used or is using the Irish Mental Health Services?

If yes we are seeking your support.

We are the Office of Mental Health Engagement and Recovery (MHER) and are a part of the HSE Mental Health Service Operations National Office.

Our focus is to ensure that the voice of the service user, family member and carer inform the design delivery and evaluation of all types of mental health services. We believe in partnership and promote a partnership approach in all our work. We do this by engaging with, listening to and working with people with lived experiences of mental health challenges and recovery, personal or as a family member/supporter.

In 2022 we established a national panel of volunteers who are using their personal lived mental health and recovery experience to support us in this work. We wish to expand this pool with additional volunteers who have this interest.

As a member of this panel you will have the opportunity to share your expertise with those working in the HSE and other agencies in a joint effort to improve and develop the Mental Health Services and inform research projects.

Applications are welcome from all perspectives and experience as we want to ensure we have as diverse and inclusive panel as possible.
