Mental Health Work Group
A group of Westminster LINk members is currently investigating issues that specifically affect people with mental health problems in our community.
The Mental Health Work Group, which is led by Stephen Paisley is currently focusing on outreach to gather feedback from service users about mental health services in Westminster. Additionally the group will be inviting presentations from local organisations such as NHS Westminster and Central Northwest London Foundation Trust to find out more about local services.

The next meeting will be held Monday 15th November 2010 from 1-3pm at Voluntary Action Westminster, 37 Chapel Street, NW1 5DP
