Our friendly and hardworking staff team
Linda Newton
Director
Hello,
I’ve been at cavamh since 1997 and feel privileged over the years to be linking with so many committed voluntary groups and organisations with an interest in mental health, with statutory partners and with so many wonderful and committed people with lived experience, all aiming to improve mental health services for the people who use them.
I specifically support all the voluntary sector groups with an interest in mental health in Cardiff and Vale through Cardiff and Vale Mental Health Forum and its activities – with our focus on involvement and co-production, networking and development, information and training and the collective voice of the voluntary sector in the planning and development of mental health services.
If you would like to find out more, or are interested in joining the Forum, please don’t hesitate to email me at [email protected]
