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.

Our aims are to:
  • 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.
