First Steps

This is a Gypsy and traveller community group of residents from Thorney Hill and Bransgore. Many of them took part in the UCLAN mental health report. They live Bricks & Mortar (housed), and have the worst health & social issues across the New Forest. I work closely with this group and visit them regularly to help signpost them to relevant services (not always mental health).

Currently I am trying to get them to access the Access to Psychological Therapy (IAPT) service based in New Milton.
