Information about Camden Mental Health Service and the practitioners that deliver the range of care and support that is available.
From 1 November 2024 and as part of a Section 75 agreement, Mental Health Services in Camden are provided in partnership with North London NHS Foundation Trust (NLFT). NLFT was previously two separate Mental Health Trusts working in partnership – Camden & Islington NHS Foundation Trust and Barnet, Enfield & Haringey Mental Health NHS Trust.
For further information please visit the North London NHS Foundation Trust website.
Camden Council has approximately 50 Social Workers and Managers across CNorth London Foundation NHS Trust to contribute to an integrated way of working in Mental Health. The Social Workers work as Care Coordinators and are spread across 5 different divisions, more than 12 individual specialist teams or services and located in 7 different locations across Camden.
For more information about where the Camden’s Social Workers in C&I are situated, please see the Structure Charts for Social Care Staff.
The Social Workers are responsible for completing most of the Social Care activity in Mental Health. They are currently implementing strength – based principles into daily practice.
The Social Workers in C&I do not always have access to Camden systems and it is important to communicate with them, in most instances, via their CANDI email addresses.
You can also contact the Mental Health Social Workers as well as their Managers as a group, by using the established MentalHealthSocialWorkers distribution list on your Outlook. The distribution list is regularly updated to provide a comprehensive and accurate communication tool.
