We call on the Government to invest in local health services for those experiencing homelessness.
Breaking Barriers is our campaign to secure better mental health support for those facing homelessness in Lewisham.
Mental health problems can be both a cause and a consequence of homelessness. For those facing homelessness, mental health problems can be highly prevalent and often access to specialist care and treatment is poorer than that for the general population.
Our goal is to work with the relevant local health care providers, local authorities, and relevant partners to agree and implement innovative models of care. Adopting this partnership approach will be essential especially as the mental health needs of those who are homeless can often be incredibly complex, requiring holistic and patient centred trauma informed care from multidisciplinary teams.
Please sign our petition and together we can work towards a specialist mental health service for people experiencing homelessness in Lewisham.
Unite for change. Sign the petition. Transform lives.
