The Hear Us Linkworking Project has been running in Croydon since Oct 2007. The Peer Support Linkworkers visit the inpatient wards at the Royal Bethlem Hospital and Croydon’s Mental Health Community Services, Jeanette Wallace House and Queens Resource Centre. The Linkworking Project runs in different mental health services in Croydon, providing support to service users whilst also giving them a chance to raise any issues, concerns or compliments within that service, so that we can help support positive changes to be made and shape services to suit the service user.
The Team meet with service users and support them by listening to their current experiences of using mental health services; these experiences are shared with commissioners and providers to help shape mental health services to meet the needs of people that use services.
