The Mental Health Journey

The Mental Health Journey

People in Sheffield have shared their stories of mental health support in the city. What worked well and what needs to improve. They have shared a huge amount of detail with Healthwatch Sheffield and Sheffield Flourish to help them understand how different mental health support services could work better together.

You can read their stories on the Healthwatch Sheffield website

Here are the key messages of the Mental Health Journey Report

  • Professionals across the system aren’t always good at identifying poor mental health
  • People wait a long time to be seen and it is difficult to get seen in times of crisis
  • There are issues with the communication between GPs and other services
  • Different treatments work for different people but choice is sometimes not offered or available
  • Services aren’t delivered with sensitivity to different cultures and to individuals with particular needs.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.
