Gellinudd Recovery Centre-the UK’s first inpatient mental health centre to be designed by service users and their carers opened in Wales in April 2017. Unfortunately the service cannot be copied elsewhere easily due to lack of funding for evaluation. It’s interesting, how money is always enough for usual institutions, and how there is a lack of money for services designed by users themselves, even in such a rich country as the UK. See further information at the website of “The Guardian”.
European Network of (Ex-)Users and Survivors of Psychiatry
ENUSP gives users and survivors of psychiatric services across Europe a way to communicate so that we can support one other in the personal, political, and social struggle against injustice and discrimination.
We are the only grassroots umbrella organization working across Europe to unite local and national organizations of (ex-) users and survivors of psychiatry.
We directly represent the views of people who are or have been on the receiving end of psychiatric services.
