Events 22 to 29 March 2012

Members of the public are invited to join–in a program of events to mark three–months of Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust.
The Trust was formed at the start of this year when Suffolk and Norfolk mental health services merged, to create one organisation.
The aim of the events, which take place between 22 March and 29 March, is to raise awareness of the Trust and showcase its services to local communities that it provides services for.
The events start on 22 March with an evening of art and drama to commemorate St Clement’s Hospital in Ipswich, the last Victorian asylum in Suffolk.

The following day the Trust will host the regional launch of Triangle of Care, a new national initiative aimed at including people with mental health needs and their carers more effectively in care planning.
On Saturday 24 March the Trust will be on–hand at Chapelfield in Norwich and Tower Ramparts in Ipswich to meet with members of the public, and get talking about mental health.
From 26 to 29 March there will be a series of mental health roadshows at libraries across the two counties – including Wymondham, King’s Lynn, Great Yarmouth in Norfolk, and Felixstowe, Stowmarket, Beccles and Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk.
On the evening of 29 March, the program of events will come to a close with an event for young people with music, poetry and more.
For more information about any of these events telephone the events’ co–ordinator Lizzie Meadows on: 01603 421390. Website: www.nsft.nhs.uk.
