Award Judge Claire Reid

Claire Reid has worked in the field of mental health for over 20 years. She is a passionate supporter of individuals’ right to self-determination and autonomy and has worked with individuals to ensure their voices are heard when engaging with public bodies in the mental health field for many years.

More recently Claire has developed services that support people who lack the mental capacity to consent to their care and living arrangements and as a s result we have supported a large number of individuals to remain, or return to, their homes with support in place to ensure their safety and wellbeing.

As Director of MHFA Wales, Claire and her team have developed a range of training course that support the mental wellbeing of our communities. She is proud to present the award for Best Support During the Pandemic on behalf of all the teams at Torfaen and Blaenau Gwent Mind and MHFA Wales.
