In response to the paucity of training in therapeutic relationships and relational care for mental health clinicians, a new three-day training programme has been developed called Compassionate and Relational Enquiry (CARE). A condensed version of this training was recently delivered to mental health service users, carers and the public during a one-day online taster session- named Dialogical And Relational Taster Training (DARTT) - to understand their perception of this training programme. 21 people took part in this taster training day and subsequently completed a survey about their impression of different elements of the training. This paper outlines the key elements of the taster training that were delivered and survey results. Overall, the response to the survey shows a positive impression of the training and the core components of it. These survey results appear to affirm the importance of relational aspects of care, especially as understood by those using services and their carers.
