Service Detail

The Lewisham MHLD service provides community-based psychiatric and psychological assessment, advice and treatment for people, aged over 18, who have mental health problems and learning disabilities and 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.
