West Cumbria Mental Health Partnership

A more sustainable and collaborative third sector mental health provision for the future.

Wellbeing

A collaboration of third sector organisations to create a central point to connect people struggling with anxiety, depression or other issues impacting their mental health & wellbeing to a wide range of support.

West Cumbria Mental Health Partnership provides a comprehensive mental health and wellbeing support network in West Cumbria and helps to build a more sustainable and collaborative third sector mental health provision for the future. It focuses on young people and adults with low level mental health issues in West Cumbria. WCMHP addresses a gap in mental health issue provision, following the closure of Mind mental health services in West Cumbria in 2019.
