Cannock Chase Mental Health Hub was set up in October 2018 to improve communication and networking between all sectors providing support for Mental Health in the Cannock Chase area.

Mental wellbeing is just as important as your physical wellbeing and poor mental health should not be ignored. We are all very different and gaining support for poor mental health needs to be right for your individual needs. There are a lot of organisations within our community that have a diverse range of activities, and volunteers / staff that have lived experience of poor mental health themselves, so they understand what it is like to live with poor mental health and will not judge you.
