PEOPLE across Inverclyde who have experience of living with mental health difficulties are being encouraged to get involved in a local support network.

Acumen - a network of mental health service users and carers - want people in the district to join the team.

New recruits will take part in running focus groups, attending meetings and hosting presentations.

A spokesperson for the organisation said: "People with experience of mental health issues, and their families and carers, hold unique insights into how services can best respond.
