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.
