Welcome to Worcestershire Mental Health Link Network
We are primarly a Voluntary and Comunity Sector (VCS) network which includes a wide mix of groups, including those that work solely within mental health and also wider VCS groups with an interest in emotional well being and mental health. The network is informal, inclusive and currently has well over 50 member organisations or projects. Membership is also open to statutory sector agencies.
- Provide a forum for discussion, networking, sharing good practice and partnership working
- Ensure that network member organisations are informed of mental health national and local good practice, strategy, and policy to support service delivery in line with countywide priorities
- Identify members training and support needs and develop, deliver or utilise existing local training programmes, to build the capacity of our member organisations
Worcestershire Mental Health Link Network is co-ordinated by The Mental Health Development Project at Community First.
How does this fit with the aims and values of Community First ?
