🌟 So proud of our finalists! 🌟

Our three Peer Support Workers, Stephanie McKnight, Alan Neilson and Lauren Cameron-Rastogi, were joined by our Board Chair, Cora Cowan, at last night’s NHS Lanarkshire Staff Awards to celebrate our Peer Support Worker Service being recognised. 💜

We’re so grateful to have been nominated and then shortlisted as a finalist by the judges. It’s a wonderful recognition of the team’s dedication, compassion and the value of lived experience in supporting others.

Our Peer Support Workers help people feel heard, understood and supported during their time on the wards, and we’re incredibly proud to see their work celebrated.

Congratulations to everyone recognised on the night, and a huge thank you to our Peer Support Workers for everything you do! 👏

💬 Participation Day: Making Our Voices Heard

Some of our Lanarkshire Links team attended North Lanarkshire’s Participation Day at Bellshill YMCA on Wednesday 30 September.

The event brought local people, community organisations and decision-makers together to share experiences and help shape the future of health, social care and community support in North Lanarkshire.

At Lanarkshire Links, we believe people with lived experience should be at the heart of decisions that affect their lives. Events like this create space for those voices to be heard. 💚

Thank you to the organisers and everyone who took part!

🗣️ Help us shape a new lived experience workshop

Lanarkshire Links is working with Communities Can Do to create a new workshop focusing on the lived experience of mental illness or disorder.

The workshop aims to raise awareness and increase understanding of what it can be like to live with a mental illness or disorder, or to support someone who is experiencing one.

We’ve created a short survey to find out more about people’s knowledge and experiences around this topic. Your responses will help us shape what the workshop looks like and what it covers.

📱 You can complete the survey by scanning the QR code on the poster or using the link below:

👉 https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/mN83wdU0vq

Taking part is completely voluntary, all answers are anonymous, and you can leave the survey at any point.

Your experience matters. 💚

Thank you for taking the time to share your views.

🎵 Peer support and community connection 🎵

Our Peer Support Workers do so much to support people during their time on the wards, including helping people connect with their local community and take part in activities away from the ward.

Recently, our Peer Support Worker Stephanie supported patients and staff from the acute psychiatric wards at Hairmyres to attend the Music in the Museum concerts at Low Parks Museum. 💚

Stephanie said: “Over the past couple of months, Low Parks Museum in Hamilton has provided Lanarkshire Links with tickets for Peer Support Workers, patients and staff from Hairmyres acute psychiatric wards to attend their Music in the Museum concerts. This has been a fantastic opportunity for patients from the wards to attend an event and listen to music in the beautiful hall.

“The patients have enjoyed listening, clapping, and singing along to the music, which has been important for their wellbeing and being a part of the community. The patients and staff have been grateful for this chance to attend and look forward to the next concert.

“Thank you again, Low Parks Museum, for your support.” 🎶

We’re really pleased to see opportunities like this helping people stay connected with their community and enjoy experiences outside of the ward. 💚
