Our blog

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.
