Trudy Wrake, Transformation Lead & Service Manager for Luton CMHTs said:
"The insight and input from all attendees was exceptional. I would like to thank everyone involved for such valuable contributions to the Luton community mental health transformation programme. A big thank you for your input, support and enthusiasm in making the event a success, in every way.”
Engagement
The Luton work is a part of Trust-wide community mental health transformation.
Across City & Hackney, Newham, Tower Hamlets, Bedfordshire and Luton, we have been developing new ways of bringing together primary and secondary care with social care, other local authority services, our third sector and local communities to support people with severe mental health problems.
The Luton community mental health transformation programme team hope to continue with engagement with young adults including young black males. They are also working on developing work around psychological therapies including complex emotional disorders and dual diagnosis as well as supporting carers.
