Newsletters
Many individual branches of Mind publish their own newsletter, and often welcome contributions from people with mental health difficulties – get in touch with your local branch to find out if they produce one.
Likewise, many local service user groups or organisations will have their own newsletter and are likely to welcome new contributors. The National Survivor User Network has a directory where you can find groups in your area.
