The needs and experiences of homeless communities accessing primary mental healthcare services in Westminster

In this project, Healthwatch Westminster explores the mental health needs and experiences of Westminster's homeless community.

Homelessness & Mental health

Healthwatch Westminster developed this project to explore the mental health needs of Westminster's homeless communities, specifically their experiences with or access to primary mental health treatment services. Westminster is the London borough with the highest rate of homelessness. 

Our community mental health projects, as well as the variety of feedback and concerns received through our targeted outreach and signposting services, suggest that additional support is required to meet the mental health needs of people who are experiencing homelessness in Westminster.
