What is the Open Mental Health Project?
Open Mental Health is a Somerset alliance of local voluntary organisations and the NHS. We are working in partnership to ensure that adults in Somerset get the support they need, when they need it. Our shared ambition is to ensure that people living with mental health problems get the right support at the right time.
Working together, we support people to live a full life, by enabling access to specialist mental health services, housing support, debt and employment advice, volunteering opportunities, peer support, community activities and physical exercise, to help support and improve their wellbeing and quality of life.
