Sir Norman Lamb, Chair of South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust shares his thoughts on World Mental Health Day 2022. 

The World Health Organisation recognises World Mental Health Day on October 10 each year. Marking World Mental Health Day is vitally important – we know mental health problems impact around one in four people at some point in their life and we must do everything we can, individually and as a society to prevent people from experiencing mental ill health.

Rebecca, Tobacco Dependence Advisor at South London and Maudsley shares some tips on how to quit smoking and how the Smoke Free Team support patients across the Trust. 

Jack Murray is one of our reserach nurses. We asked him to tell us about how he got involved in research, what his role involves and what he enjoys best about it.

Our new Values and Behaviours Framework sets out the behaviours we want to see from each other and the behaviours that our service users and their carers expect of us. Together, we treat each other and our patients with kindness and respect.

Peer support workers draw on their own mental health issues and recovery to support service users in a variety of areas in South London and Maudsley. Peer workers share their lived experiences to inspire hope that change is possible. They also use their experiences to support service users navigating mental health services and signposting to relevant resources. Sarah, a Peer Support Worker shares her story and lived experience.
