The ROLE network team is a group of people with a long history of personal involvement and participation in actively improving mental health services. We have worked with many service providers locally, regionally in the north west and nationally to effect positive change. The ROLE network is a new, unique and independent group which offers a range of solutions for organisations wanting to learn more about mental health from a lived experience perspective. We can provide a variety of training and consultancy services on all aspects of mental health and social care.The group has been active informally since 2006, and formally constituted as a CIC (Community Interest Company) on 4th November 2010,
