Building on momentum, moving toward collaboration.
Following the success of our inaugural Mental Health Forum in May, we’re inviting you to join us for the next stage of this shared journey.
This session will focus on deepening the connections made so far and moving the forum closer to its purpose: becoming a genuinely collaborative space for shaping mental health support in Dumfries and Galloway.
Through practical discussions, peer connection, and open input, we’ll explore how we make the forum more inclusive, better connected—and capable of influencing real change. Whether you were at the first session or are joining for the first time, your voice is needed.
Let’s keep building - together.

OUTCOMES:
- Stronger Cross-Sector Relationships
Attendees will leave with a clearer sense of who is in the room, what different organisations do, and how they might collaborate going forward.
- Shared Understanding of Inclusion and Lived Experience
Through facilitated discussion, the group will surface shared insights and challenges around who’s missing from the conversation and how to better include lived experience at the heart of the forum.
- Early Consensus on Forum Development
The forum will take light-touch decisions on key structural questions such as meeting rhythm, rotating venues, and appetite for a steering or working group.
- Identified Priorities for Future Sessions
Themes raised during the Conversation Café will help shape the direction of the next forum(s), working groups, or wider influencing agenda.
- Visible, Captured Input with Clear Next Steps
Outputs will be gathered in a transparent and engaging way (e.g. gallery walk, notes, wall charts), with a visible “you said → we are doing” feedback loop for accountability.
- Reinforced Commitment to Action, Not Just Talk
Participants will leave feeling confident that this forum is not a talking shop, but a developing space for influence, co-production, and real change in Dumfries and Galloway.
