Find mental health and wellbeing support
Waiting Room is a free digital platform for people of all ages. It was developed with the NHS, local authorities and voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations. It helps children, young people, adults and families understand and find mental health and wellbeing support.
Waiting Room was originally for children and young people but is now available to people of all ages. This means that young people aged 18 to 25 can continue to use the same trusted source of information and self-help support when they move on from Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services.
The platform helps people to manage their wellbeing while they wait for support. It provides:
- clear information about services
- personalised wellbeing plans
- tools for setting goals and keeping a journal
- information about local activities
- support to help people prepare for appointments
- practical support when they are discharged or move on from services
Waiting Room has been developed with professionals from different services and organisations. It also has a dedicated area for Autism and ADHD. This was developed with neurodiverse young people, parents and professionals to make sure information is accessible and relevant.
Free Advice and Signposting and Shared Decision Making training is available to all health, education and social care professionals in North Central London. The training helps professionals use consistent language and provide consistent advice and guidance.
