A special open day is being held to celebrate the Let’s Talk – Wellbeing Service in Bassetlaw, which provides vital support to people who are feeling low, anxious or stressed.
The event, which is being held at the service’s premises on Wednesday 13 April, will officially mark and celebrate the service. It will also provide an opportunity for people to find out more about the service, tour the premises and speak to staff who will be on hand to answer any questions.
The service, provided by Nottinghamshire Healthcare in partnership with Rethink for NHS Bassetlaw, offers a range of talking therapies to people across Bassetlaw experiencing common difficulties such as anxiety and depression.
One in four people will experience some kind of mental health problem in the course of a year. Since the service first opened its doors on 1 October 2010, over 1037 referrals have been received.
Simon Smith, Executive Director of Local Services, Nottinghamshire Healthcare, said: “Talking therapies are recognised as an effective method of treatment for mild to moderate mental health problems. Let’s Talk – Wellbeing provides essential support which can also help to improve people’s overall health and wellbeing. The service is also available in a range of locations giving people greater access to and choice about their care.
“The open day provides a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the achievements of the service since it commenced last year and to raise awareness of the support that is available.”
Anyone feeling low, anxious or stressed is encouraged to speak with their GP who can make a referral to Let’s Talk – Wellbeing. For more information visit www.letstalkwellbeing.co.uk
