This section which is currently under development is looking at the local history of mental health care - and in particular service user experience from the controversial and interesting journey of psychiatric care. If you have any memories or information to contribute please email enquiries@thinkingahead.org.uk and we'll get in touch and maybe interview you! We are particularly keen to hear about experiences at St James Hospital, Locksway Road (formerly Asylum Rd), Portsmouth.
