London Mental Health Strategy

A ten-year strategy for mental health services in London

This strategy has been developed through the London Mental Health board, and following extensive engagement we have agreed upon a set of key outcomes we want to deliver for mental health care in London, and identified key focus areas and actions which will help us achieve these.

Our vision for London: London will be the best global city to access mental health care and support. We will focus on prevention and enabling our communities to live well, providing a clear and consistent service offer across our London footprint.

Mental Health services in London will be co-produced, culturally competent and tailored to support the wellbeing of our diverse population. When people in London need to access mental health services, they are kept safe, free from harm and able to access the support they need in a timely manner, regardless of where they seek help. Improving access for children and young people, advancing mental health equalities, and reducing racial disparities are central to our ambitions for London’s mental health services.
