Our Wellbeing Thursday Group was delighted to welcome special guests this morning from Brent Council and Brent NHS. As a community of members with lived experience, we’re always pleased to host visitors — not only to showcase the work we do, but also to raise issues that matter to us and that they may be able to help resolve.
As a group, we are proud to positively promote our statutory mental health services while also being honest and constructive about what still needs improvement. Today, for example, we highlighted the importance — and urgency — of mental health providers responding to residents seeking help in a way that is positive, supportive and genuinely empowering. When people reach out during difficult moments, they deserve a response that strengthens their confidence and helps them move towards managing their wellbeing with greater success and self-belief.
At Ashford Place, we are ambitious for our members. We want every person who walks through our doors to have access to the best possible support services, delivered with respect, compassion and effectiveness. Collaborations like today’s visit help ensure that ambition becomes a reality.
