Last forum for former patients

Former patients of psychiatric hospitals have until Monday to register for the last forum to be held in Hamilton in October.

The confidential forum will give patients, their family and staff the chance to share their experiences at hospitals.

Forum chairman Patrick Mahony says so far more than 200 people from around the country have taken part in the confidential meetings. He says the information collected will help counseling services develop their methods of treatment.
