A good opportunity for voices to be heard 🙌

We’re continuing to listen- and we’d still love to hear from you 🙏

Our ‘Thoughts on Therapy’ survey is already helping us build a clearer picture of people’s real experiences of mental health support across Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire. But..... the more voices we hear, the clearer that picture becomes.

If you haven’t yet taken part, now is a great time to share your thoughts- you can do so totally anonymously if you wish. Whether you’ve accessed therapy, are waiting for support, or have never reached out, your experience matters.

Your feedback is helping us to:
🟢 Shape and improve services based on real experiences
🟢Highlight gaps and barriers people are facing
🟢Build strong evidence to influence future funding and provision
🟢Make mental health support more accessible, inclusive, and effective for our communities

Every response adds to the evidence we’re building and helps us advocate for better support locally.

If you can spare a few minutes, please take part and help us continue driving positive change:
