Workingforwellness.org.uk has been developed by the London Mental Health and Employment Partnership in order to provide Londoners with a “one stop shop” reference service to the latest up to date information, knowledge and intelligence on mental health and employment.

Established by the London Development Centre in 2007, the partnership is a collaborative initiative whose membership consists of regional and local government agencies, health services, Jobcentre Plus, Learning and Skills Council, public and private sector employers, the voluntary and community sector, London’s housing sector and mental health service-user groups.

It was set up as a direct response to the Cabinet Office document: “Reaching Out: An Action Plan on Social Exclusion” which called for the need to establish “dedicated regional teams to provide further support for the implementation of good practice around the employment of those with severe mental health problems.”

The partnership’s overall aim is to support the number of Londoners with mental illness into or closer towards meaningful employment, contributing to reducing health inequalities, helping to alleviate child poverty and improve social inclusion across the Capital.

We also work with employers and workplace organisations to help improve their capacity to deal better with mental health issues in the workplace.
