How our service can help you
The Lewisham MHLD service provides community-based psychiatric and
psychological assessment, advice and treatment for people, aged over 18,
who live in the London Borough of Lewisham. We care for adults with
mental health problems and learning disabilities who may have emotional,
behavioural, and social, communication or physical difficulties.
We provide care for people with mental health problems and complex
needs including behaviours that challenge.
We are a multi professional team including psychologists, behavioural
support specialists, nurses and psychiatrists. We work with other health
and social care teams as part of the Mental Health Learning Disability
Service (MHLD) Neurodevelopment Division.
We provide mental health assessments, therapy and advice on services
and treatment options to help people with learning disabilities maintain
their health and independence.

An integral part of the Mental Health-Learning Disabilities services
provided by the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust is the
Estia Centre. The Estia Centre is a training, research and development
resource that specialises in the mental health needs of adults with
learning disabilities. The Estia Centre aims to support the development
of a competent workforce, from support staff to experienced managers and
from a variety of services. We hope to achieve this by offering a high
quality portfolio of training opportunities, including workshops,
conferences, training publications, journals and good practice guidance.
The Centre is also part of the Institute of Psychiatry, where we aim to
improve the care of adults with learning disabilities and mental health
needs through our research initiatives that develop evidence-based practice
