Southwark Wellbeing Hub and other mental health services

If you're struggling with your mental health the Southwark Wellbeing Hub helps you get the right support.

You may already be getting help with your health and care from a professional, for example your GP or therapist. 

They may speak to you about getting support with your mental wellbeing from adult social care.

If you need additional or specialist support with your mental health, the Southwark Wellbeing Hub can also refer you to one of our adult social care teams.

They will talk to you about options that are available, this may include:

  • direct support from the Wellbeing Hub
  • connecting you with other services that can help

Your GP can also refer you to the Wellbeing Hub. 

If necessary, they can refer you to the South London and Maudsley Mental Health and Learning Disabilities Service.
