About the team:

The Lambeth Living Well Network Alliance (LWNA) commenced on 1st July 2018 and was developed to transform the way that adult mental health services are delivered in Lambeth with the vision that 'every citizen, whatever their abilities or disabilities, can flourish, contribute to society and lead the life they want to lead'.

This is a partnership between Certitude, Lambeth Council, Thames Reach, Lambeth Clinical Commissioning Group and the South London and the Maudsley NHS Trust (SLaM). Together partners support the achievement of the LWNA 'three big outcomes' identified by local people: to support people to recover and stay well, make their own choices and participate on an equal footing in the community.

The LWNA has developed services to meet borough mental health needs including the Single Point of Access (SPA) which opened in Autumn 2019, this is an assessment service which allows people to refer themselves or be introduced for help by GPs or other professionals. People speak to a clinician who refers them directly to the most appropriate support, without having to repeat details. At the same time as the SPA opened we brought community mental health teams, social workers and voluntary sector staff together in two teams. These teams were the Short Term Support Service (who usually support people for up to three months) and Focused Support Service (who support people longer term.) The team are based in three Living Well Centres (LWCs): North, South East (both currently Brixton) and South West (Streatham).

The LWNA offers an exciting range of support and training opportunities to employees. We encourage and welcome applications from people with lived experience of mental health challenges. We see this as valuable and recognise the positive impact this experience can have on the work we do.
