Healthwatch Lewisham focus on men’s mental health
Using focus groups, Healthwatch Lewisham spoke to 108 men and found that they’re more likely to isolate themselves than talk to family or mental health services. Shockingly, only 10% of respondents felt there is adequate support for men’s mental health with many highlighting a cultural stigma, especially those from the Caribbean community.
Can you help us hear more from new dads about their experience with mental health services?

#WordsSaveLives Becoming an organ donor only takes a few minutes if you register online, but can bring a lifetime of health and happiness to those who are waiting for a transplant. Your family will be asked to support organ donation if, when you die, you are in a position to donate your organs. So make sure you tell them you want to be an organ donor too. Sadly, around three people every day die in need of an organ transplant. Why should I become an organ donor?

We want to know about your experiences:
Having a baby is one of the biggest life choices you can make. This can affect both the person who is giving birth and their partner's mental health. We want to know more about people's experiences of mental health support when planning to get pregnant, during pregnancy, at the birth of their child and afterwards.
We know that this can be a challenging topic to talk about, so please be assured all responses will be completely anonymous and if there are any questions you don’t want to answer, then don’t feel like you have to.

Goodbye to NHS Choices logo
NHS Choices is no more! Instead www.nhs.uk will now just be referred to as the NHS website.
It contains information to help people manage their health and care online, and there will be more changes coming to improve services.
Finding services in your area
You're probably aware that you can search CQC website for care services by postcode or town, but did you know that you can also find services by local authority area?
