EQUIP training the trainers: an evaluation of a training programme for service users and carers involved in training mental health professionals in user ‐involved care planning

We also learned that service users desired different levels of involvement in training facilitation – some wanted to take a more active role than others. A one‐size‐fits‐all approach is not always appropriate. Encountering resistance from staff in training was a previously unidentified ch...
