Coronavirus/COVID-19
In response to the Coronavirus outbreak and based on the most recent Government guidance, Bromley, Lewisham & Greenwich Mind has taken the difficult decision to suspend face-to-face services to safeguard people’s health and safety.
We know that people rely on our support and are aware that many people may feel particularly anxious and isolated during the outbreak. As a result, we are prioritising telephone support to local people experiencing mental health problems, and people living with dementia and their carers, over the coming weeks.
We are working to ensure our website provides you with up-to-date information about the services and support we are currently offering.
