Bringing Plymouth’s Mental Health Community Together
What We Do
Plymouth Mental Health Network is an unincorporated community association, helping people suffering from mental illness in and around Plymouth. We do this by providing mental health support providers with a local network to discuss, share ideas and information, work in partnership, uncover and fill gaps in service provision and influence policy and meaningful change. This ensures that everyone in Plymouth has equal opportunity to achieve positive mental health and well-being.

“The networking events are a really useful way to keep up to date with local developments in mental health and to make new and valuable contacts. This has already led to some valuable training and CPD opportunities for Marjon staff. In addition, the willingness of the network to add a new forum for post-16 students offers real hope of ‘plugging the gaps’ in provision for this vulnerable group by way of sharing ideas and instigating joint working initiatives. As a result of joining the network I am much more optimistic that local services can work together to provide improved mental health services for students.”
“We value greatly our relationship with the Mental Health Network as partners in developing local mental health services. The establishment of the Network has enabled long standing relationships to form, which has provided an opportunity to share our thinking and work together on areas of shared and mutual interest.”

“Plymouth & District Mind have been involved with the network since its inception! Many of our longstanding relationships with other organisations in the city, voluntary and otherwise, have arisen from our links with the network. It is an invaluable place to share best practice and to develop new collaborative approaches to mental health support for our city.”
