What Makes Open Mental Health Different?
With Open Mental Health, your patients are connected with a whole network of support. This could mean help with their mental health, but it might also mean support with money worries, fitness, or feelings of loneliness.
Amongst other things, Open Mental Health offers:
• Holistic wellbeing workers (focusing on one-to-one and group support)
• Peer supporters/peer support workers
• Psychologists, mental health nurses, occupational therapists
• Older and young people specialists
• Eating disorder specialists
• Developmental trauma specialists
• Money, housing and benefits advice
We know that mental health problems are often linked to other life challenges. It is hard to feel mentally well if you are worried about your rent or feeling isolated. By working together, we can look at the whole person rather than just a set of symptoms.
Patients are Seen, Heard, and Valued
One of our core principles is ensuring that everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. We also make sure that the voices of people who have been through these challenges themselves—Experts by Experience—guide our decisions.
Whether struggling with anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, or any other mental health challenge, patients aren’t just a number on a list; they are part of a community that cares.
