Dorset Mental Health Forum - Welcome
The Dorset Mental Health Forum is an independent charity established in 1992. We directly employ service users and people with mental health problems whenever possible. Our main office premises are situated in Durngate Street, in the historic market town of Dorchester.
We provide information and signposting for mental health service users and their carers, as well as for other interested parties such as members of the general public and the statutory services. Practical advice is offered through our own dedicated Advocacy Service.
We maintain good working relationships with statutory services and supply trained Representatives to help in the planning and commissioning of mental health services. We offer customisable, specialist mental health awareness training packages that can be tailored to an organisation's unique requirements. We also provide a varied range of Day Services.
