Directories

  • People First – Directory of Social Care and Community Services

    This is provided in association with the Adult Social Care teams of the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham, the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, and Westminster City Council. It aims to provide a wealth of information and resources covering the whole of the private, voluntary and public sector across the three boroughs.
    It acts as an ‘honest broker’ putting residents at the centre of choice and control and determining their own lives, so has been made as an easy-to-use source of information, ideas and services to help maintain independence and well-being. The site is aimed at the older adult population, people living with disabilities of whatever kind, and those who look after others. The website is also for the use of social care professionals, people working in health and care services, and anybody with an interest in adult social care issues.

  • Directory of Mental Health Resources – People First: Mental Health

    Looking after your mental health – your mood and emotional wellbeing – is every bit as important as taking care of yourself physically. Keeping the mind active and having strategies to cope during difficult times in your life can help you to feel more positive and make good decisions for the future.
    Mental health conditions are very common. One in four adults will experience some kind of mental health problem over the course of a year, and for some people they can be long-term or recurring problems.
    If you are worried about your mental health, there’s nothing to be ashamed of. It’s important to take care of your mental health, and seek help and support just as you would for a physical health condition – whether that means going to see your GP, finding a support group, or trying some self-help strategies.
