Tell us your experiences of community mental health services in Lincolnshire.
Opportunity to share your views
Over the last two years, it is not just physical health services that have been under pressure. The lack of support available to help with people’s mental health also appears to be worsening. From feedback received, members of the public have highlighted their concerns over access to mental health support services and their resultant wait times. Members of the public have commented that they have struggled to access support whilst they are waiting for their referral to be processed.
Our survey aims to give you the opportunity to share your views and experiences to help better understand what is working and what needs improving for Lincolnshire.

Who do we want to hear from?
We would like to hear from both service users and their carers, parents, relatives, and friends.
We are especially keen to hear about individuals' experiences of transitioning between Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) and Adult Mental Health Services.
The survey explores:
- Accessing support
- The quality of the support provided
- What worked well?
- What could be improved?
At Healthwatch Lincolnshire we also want to understand professionals' experiences of signposting or referring people to mental health services in Lincolnshire. The survey explores:
- Experiences of signposting or referring someone to support
- Effectiveness of the signposting or referral (e.g. Did you come across this person and have to signpost or refer them again?)
- Any changes seen in the need for and type of mental health support over the past 6 months
Everything you tell us is confidential and will help us and the NHS understand what they need to put in place to better support people like you. So, whether you had a positive or negative experience with mental health support in Lincolnshire, we want to hear it.
