Inclusion at LMWS
LMWS has its own Inclusion Team dedicated to dismantling oppressive structures and advancing health equalities for the people of Leeds.
The LMWS Inclusion Team is made up of people with their own experience of mental health difficulties. They use life experience as an asset to aid their work, with the aim of breaking down barriers between professionals and service users to improve mental health services for everyone in Leeds.
Our team delivers the authentic voice of the people of Leeds to influence change across LMWS and the Leeds community.
Projects
In addition to these core functions, the Inclusion Team also works on:
- Supporting the redesign of the LMWS Stress Control Classes, bringing together the voices of previous users to make the groups more accessible and relevant
