Mental health social workers work with people to bring out their strengths, connect with communities and access peer support - all of which can help tackle loneliness.
#MentalHealthSocialWork #SocialWorkMatters
We’re urging the government to fully recognise the value of mental health social workers by including them in the upcoming NHS workforce plan.
#MentalHealthSocialWork #SocialWorkMatters
That’s why we have been calling on the government to ensure that everyone with a severe mental health condition has access to a mental health social worker: thinkahead.org/news-item/social-work-ma...

Social workers can support with the things that matter most to us all. Housing. Family. Employment. Community.
When someone is experiencing #MentalHealth problems, they may need support in all areas of their life.

Yellow image with Think Ahead's logo in the top right corner and white text with a quote from Andrew Voyce. White text reads 'my social worker went above and beyond the call of duty. He was non-judgemental. He didn't see my delusions as funny or wrong.' Under the text is a picture of Andrew, a man in his 70s wearing a black shirt. His arms are folded in front of him.
🗣️ “My social worker went above and beyond the call of duty. I’m proud to have had his support over the years.”
Andrew shared with our social work trainees his experience of being an inpatient in a mental health ward and inspiring journey of recovery.
