Meriden Family Programme 20th Anniversary
We were very pleased and excited to celebrate the 20th year of the Programme in June this year. We held a celebration event which was attended by 60 people from across the UK, Republic of Ireland and Netherlands , who have been involved in the Programme for many years. We also received messages of congratulations from Canada, Australia, Japan and Uganda. The event was extremely positive and uplifting. It was a great opportunity to reflect on the work of the Programme over the last 20 years at a local, national and international level and think about the commitment of people globally to develop and implement effective evidence based interventions for families where a person is experiencing mental health issues.
