PEOPLE living in South Cumbria have been asked to share their views on access to talking therapies to treat common mental health conditions in adults.
Across South Cumbria, there are a number of services available to residents, which involve free groups, courses and one-to-one therapy sessions to help people understand what they are going through and build their confidence.
The Lancashire Health and Care Partnership is now looking to gather the views of residents who have used the services – to assess their experiences – and also people living with a mental health problem who have not accessed the services, to understand why this is the case.
To do this, an online survey has been produced which can be accessed at https://iaptlsc.creativeworld.co.uk/
The survey will remain open until 5pm on Tuesday, May 31 2022 and if you don’t have access to the internet and would prefer a paper survey, please call 01282 858200 and ask for Susan Hugill.
There is one provider who offers this service, and residents can self-refer, meaning they don’t need to see a GP first. They are:
- South Cumbria First Step – for men and women aged 18 and over who live anywhere in South Cumbria - https://www.lscft.nhs.uk/first-step
