Bromley Mental Health & Wellbeing Hub (BMHWH)

NHS South East London ICB is seeking to commission Bromley Mental Health and Wellbeing services.

The Bromley Mental Health and Wellbeing Hub (BMHWH) is the primary prevention and early intervention adult mental health community and emotional wellbeing service in the borough.

The BMHWH will provide a range of best practice services and interventions that help adults with mental health and emotional wellbeing challenges to: improve their mental health, to overcome identified individual problems, to better connect with their communities, to become more active and healthy, to access employment and learning opportunities, to live more happily and independently, to be more resilient in the face of adversity, and to, wherever possible, help individuals to avoid a mental

health crisis situation or the need for secondary mental health or hospital care.

Working alongside Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust and Bromley Talking Therapies, the BMHWH will host and coordinate the Adult Mental Health Single Point of Access (MH-SPA), which will effectively screen and triage all adult mental health and

emotional wellbeing referrals, making sure that all eligible clients can access the right tailored support plan and/or treatment for them.

A. host and coordinate the Mental Health Single Point of Access (MH-SPA).

C. deliver the tailored wellbeing support and recovery college service.

D. deliver the skills, volunteering, apprenticeships and employment support service.

E. deliver the perinatal and post-natal wellbeing support service.

The service objectives of the BMHWH are to:

• Offer a diverse and tailored range of interventions to individuals with mental health challenges within the community to meet identified psychological, physical and social needs.
• Build resilience for people with mental health challenges so that they are able to live more independently and to better self-manage their own mental health and wellbeing challenges.
