Thursday 5 December saw the exciting launch of new mental health services for working-age adults in Lambeth.
There was a real buzz as people who use these services chatted with staff and providers. Everyone enjoyed live music from Greg and Annette and the Certitude Choir (made up of those with lived experience) and Abstract Benna, a young Lambeth poet, performed three of his poems, including The Alliance, written especially for the event – reproduced below.
A new service model for adult community mental health services has been put in place by the Living Well Network Alliance – the organisations in Lambeth working together to improve mental health services.
Three new Living Well Centres have been developed.
Public Health England data shows that over 12% of adults in Lambeth still smoke.
Research has shown that those who stop smoking for 28 days are five times more likely to quit for good. No matter how long you’ve smoked for, quitting can improve your health straight away.
We are looking for community members to help us improve health and wellbeing in Lambeth.
The Neighbourhood Health and Wellbeing Alliance, one of Lambeth Together’s four workstreams, are now recruiting community members to join us.
We are looking for people living in Lambeth, who have experience of using its health and care services, to help the Lambeth Neighbourhood Health and Wellbeing Alliance.
