Comments on: Sheffield User Survivor Trainers (SUST) http://yourvoicesheffield.org/etc1 Mental health training and consultancy Thu, 08 Mar 2012 17:10:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: SUST http://yourvoicesheffield.org/etc1/#comment-586 SUST Wed, 30 Mar 2011 13:56:44 +0000 http://yourvoicesheffield.org/etc1/?page_id=2#comment-586 Thanks for the comment. There are no formal links between Your Voice and SUST, although several people are actively involved in both organisations and Your Voice and SUST work closely together (e.g. SUST courses are advertised in Your Voice magazine; SUST has provided Mental Health and Creative Writing courses for Your Voice editorial group members aimed at producing copy for the Your Voice magazine and website). I think the mutually beneficial relationship between Your Voice and SUST is based on the fact that they’re both genuinely user-controlled organisations and therefore have a natural understanding of each other’s viewpoint and interests. SUST doesn't operate a formal membership - any mental health service user with an interest in mental health training and user involvement can become involved and attend meetings (contact Patrick Wood by email to p.wood@vas.org.uk or telephone 0114 253 6626 to be added to the SUST mailing list or find out the date of the next meeting).

As a service user trainer, I found it very interesting. I found my way to the SUST blog through the Your Voice website - what's the link between the two organisations? Also, can you let me know how I become a SUST member? Thanks for the information contained in your blog. As a service user trainer, I found it very interesting.
