  • Published

People who use Jersey's mental health services have been asked to help shape a five-year plan.

The government said it was developing a new strategy for the island's services and wanted to hear users' views.

A drop-in event is being held by the government's mental health team from 10:00 BST to 14:00 on Saturday at The Diner on New St James Place in St Helier to give people the chance to speak about their experiences.

A government spokesperson said feedback from the session would be used as part of the new mental health strategy which was due to be published in 2026.
