The Early Intervention Service supports residents of the London borough of Bexley experiencing mental ill-health and focuses on creative interventions at the earliest stage. Support is provided for those at work or searching for paid employment. We can also help you access education, training, and volunteering opportunities. This project is supported by The National Lottery Community Fund.
Intervention in the initial stages of a person’s mental ill-health can have significant and life-changing consequences. Getting help as soon as you need it, is critical to help prevent and reduce the progress of mental illness as well as minimising the negative impact it can have on your day-to-day life.

“You have given me a really good start and helped me believe that I can do things that I really didn’t think that I could do. I am more confident and think why couldn’t I do something better, and you helped me to do it. I can’t thank you all enough. I’ve surprised myself”
