New pilot scheme sees mental health advisors stationed at council's offices

New pilot scheme sees mental health advisors stationed at council's offices Kettering people struggling with their mental health can now receive specialist help at the town’s council offices after a pilot scheme was launched.

Northamptonshire Healthcare Foundation Trust, which has responsibility for helping people with their mental wellbeing, has launched the project with three mental health workers operating out of the council offices in Bowling Green Road.

The KBC hub has been set up in response to findings that some people were hesitant to access mental health services through traditional channels. The health body says it wants the pilot to ‘normalise conversations’ about mental health. Northamptonshire Telegraph
