Your Health and Wellbeing Matter

Caring can be physically and emotionally demanding.

You may notice:

• Feeling exhausted or run down
• Feeling low, anxious or overwhelmed
• Finding it hard to cope
• Feeling isolated or unsupported

Support is available to help you look after yourself. Getting help early can prevent problems from becoming worse.

The Lewisham Community Wellbeing Hub provides timely, targeted support to help people across the diverse communities in Lewisham to manage their mental health. Their aim is to provide people with the tools, resources and links to local services to improve their wellbeing and resilience in the long term, through the support of their experienced and skilled staff team. The service is open to anyone over 18 who lives in the London Borough of Lewisham, has experienced challenges with their mental health and who wants to improve their wellbeing.

The service provides time-limited one to one practical sessions for residents in Lewisham to develop strong self-care practices, maintain their wellbeing and feel able to be a part of the local community.
