Parent Carer Voice

Parent carer voice (PCV) is an inclusive and supportive group for parents and carers of any young person who has used mental health services in Kent. We meet one Sunday every month and host additional monthly discussion sessions with commissioners and mental health service providers. Guest speakers from a wide range of organisations are invited to join the meetings and share information and advice. PCV members are encouraged to share their own experiences and offer feedback and recommendations to improve services.

Other participation opportunities for parents and carers include:

• commissioning new projects to support young people and their families
• recruitment
• training development
• creating new resources like leaflets, web content and videos.

If you would like to have your voice heard, email kycc@kent.gov.uk to join.
