NSFT is marking Global Peer Support Celebration Day by recognising the impact of Peer Support Workers who use their lived experience of recovery from mental health challenges to support others.

People living across Norfolk and Suffolk are being encouraged to get involved in a project to combat loneliness and help stay connected with others over the winter months.

The Winter Connections Challenge invites members of the public to place a design on a postcard. The postcard can then be sent to someone they know who may feel isolated or lonely at this time of year - or someone they may want to connect with.

A new charter, co-produced by carers and staff at Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, has been launched to make sure carers always feel valued and heard. Carers and staff have been working together, led by insights from the Learning from Deaths Action Plan Management Group and the Carers of Serious Mental Illness (SMI) Norfolk and Waveney Healthwatch Group.

A project to bring world-class art to mental health wards was featured on BBC's The One Show yesterday (29 Sep). 

Carers, their families and anyone interested in finding out about the support available in Norfolk are invited to attend Carers Information Day on Monday, 6 October at The Forum, Norwich.
