We’re campaigning for same-day open access for mental health. So you can get support when you need it. Support that truly looks at your needs. Support that doesn’t have long waiting lists.
Mind in Croydon’s health and wellbeing space is an example of what this could look like. But we need this to be a national priority for the UK government. So everyone across the country gets the help they need when they ask for it.
We don’t have to imagine. These spaces already exist.
Croydon’s local Mind’s health and wellbeing space is already providing same-day open access support. We are calling for spaces like this to be rolled out across the country so everyone can get the support they need when they need it.
What this looks like in practice...
A space for people to receive advice, guidance and signposting, alongside clinical support from our Clinical Psychology team, under one roof. A non-judgmental, person-centred approach to improving your mental wellbeing and areas of your life that affect your mental wellbeing.
How can I access this service?
Aged 18 and over, registered with a GP in Croydon. For a brief conversation and evaluation of your needs:
Drop in to the CHWS in person for a brief chat with an Advice Worker. Call or email. No referral needed.
Everyone should have access to mental health support that makes them feel seen, and starts on the day they ask for help.
