Waiting for Wellness

April 25, 2023

Feedback about poor mental health and available services in Lancashire has been frequently brought to our attention. From feedback received, members of the public have highlighted their concerns over access to mental health support services and their resultant wait times. Members of the public have commented that they have struggled to access support whilst they are waiting for their referral to be processed. Not receiving appropriate support soon enough, can often cause people’s mental health to deteriorate to the point that they reach crisis (see Mark’s story)

We have launched our new project ‘Waiting for Wellness’; a project exploring people’s experiences of mental health services in Lancashire and their experiences of waiting for this support.

We also want to hear from people who have not accessed mental health services and whether they would know where to go if they ever needed support.


Without your feedback, we can’t inform decision-makers and NHS leaders about what needs to change. Help us to improve mental health support in Lancashire.
