A special event is being held to offer people the opportunity to find out more about Lincolnshire’s mental health talking therapies service.

Lincolnshire Talking Therapies, a service provided by Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, works specifically with people experiencing a common mental health problem, such as anxiety or depression.

The service has helped thousands of people since it launched in 2008 and earlier this year adopted a new name, having previously been called Steps2Change.

In order to promote the service even further, a virtual celebration event has been planned for Tuesday 10 October to coincide with World Mental Health Day.

Anyone is welcome to attend, with a range of speakers lined up on the day including a former patient and a range of teams who work with the service.

Claire Hancox, Service Manager for Lincolnshire Talking Therapies, said: “We are really proud of the service we offer and want to use World Mental Health Day as a chance to say that although we have a different name, we are still providing the same treatments.

“We have a range of fantastic speakers lined up and are really looking forward to welcoming as many people as possible on the day.”
