Our Centre has some special features that make our services different and better. We were guided by our Core Principles and worked closely with lots of people, including those who use our services, their families and carers, doctors, other care professionals and community and volunteer groups. Everyone’s ideas helped us shape the Centre into what it is today.
The Lewisham 24/7 Mental Health Centre is now open seven days a week.
Monday to Friday: 8 .00 am to 8 .00 pm
Saturday & Sunday: 9 .00 am to 5 .00 pm
For those in crisis, we can offer round the clock care, with beds available at Mountsfield Recovery House in Hither Green . Support is available without the need for a referral from a GP.
If you, or someone you care for needs crisis support please find further guidance here.
Crisis care `slots’ are available daily to ensure care is available when needed. This is helping to reduce A&E visits and admissions to hospital.
At the Centre, health and care professionals are located together and work alongside local charities and voluntary partners, to deliver support that values and respects people.
Our mental health care is designed together with service users and carers, by staff who are committed to building trusted relationships and supporting people to do what matters to them as individuals.
Mental health can be a lifelong journey, so we have been grateful for the inspiration and support of the staff and volunteers at Mosaic Clubhouse in Lambeth, in helping us develop our Membership offer for service users and carers. Our aim is that people will have a sense of belonging and ownership of our centre, and in turn this will help to build their confidence, self-esteem and life-skills. Read more about this work here.
Working with services users and carers and community partners, we have co-produced a varied Day Programme of activities and support for health, wellbeing and including practical advice on housing, debt and welfare. Read more about this work here:
