Luton Smiling Together programme
What is the programme about?
We want to give more support early on to people with serious mental health conditions to try and help avoid crisis.
Crisis is distressing, stops people from living their lives the way they want to and costs support services a lot of money.
We’re linking council and health data to identify people living in Luton with serious mental health conditions who may be at risk of having a crisis. We want to offer support to people early on and help prevent crisis.
Potential triggers for crisis could be:
- bereavement
- relationship breakdown
- domestic abuse
- financial difficulties
- housing difficulties
Starting in July 2025, support will be provided by a phone call from a trained mental health professional (a ‘case coordinator’) to see how the person is doing and see if any further support is needed. If someone needs help, the case coordinator will make sure they get it.
Your mental health is as important as your physical health
If you or someone you know needs mental health support, help is available. Visit your physical and mental health page for links to helpful services and advice.
