<DIV>Hi</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Open Futures is pleased to announce that the long awaited academic
evaluation of our event for 127 mental health service users in Dundee on June
22/23, 2004 is available as a pdf file on our web site,
www.openfutures.com</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The evaluation was sponsored by the Scottish Executive's Department of
Health and was written by Dr. Rosemary Chesson, Professor of Health Services
Research, Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen. Please click on the
report within the red border on the home page entitled<B> User, Consumer,
Survivor, Refuser ...</B> to download the 55 page report.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The report's summary states "There were high rates of attendance
throughout the event, high commitment to group processes and widespread
contributions to discussions ... It was apparent that there was a goodness of
fit between the approach of open space with its emphasis on democracy, future
focus and complexity, and the aims of the group.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>"Over the two days considerable headway was made in, not only developing
a structure for a national mental health service users' organisation, but also
creating an agenda to take forward.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>"The event organised by the SiN (Scottish informal Network) group
demonstrated that user-led strategic planning can be achieved effectively and
efficiently."</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>In other words, it was a bloody good event!</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Cheers</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
