Neighbourhood Programme

• Monday 5th October 2026, 10.30am to 12pm noon

  Do you provide unpaid care or support for someone with mental illness?
  Are you caring for someone who experiences mental illness?

  Your experience can help shape how local support develops. Carers in Hertfordshire and Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (HPFT) invite unpaid carers to join one of three friendly engagement sessions led by Kate Linhart, Deputy Director of Integration and Partnerships at HPFT.
  The sessions are an opportunity to share what matters to you and the person you care for, helping us better understand carers’ needs and shape more joined-up neighbourhood mental health support closer to
  home.

  Neighbourhood mental health plans are still being developed, and we want carers from different communities
  and with a wide range of experiences to help shape them.

  At the event, you can:

  – Find out about plans for neighbourhood mental health support.
  – Share what matters to you and the person you care for.
  – Help shape services that are accessible, inclusive and welcoming.
  – Explore how health, care and community organisations can work better together.
  – Learn how to stay involved as plans develop
