About: Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust / Adult mental health

(as a staff member posting for a patient/service user),

Life Rooms is a Godsend and has allowed me to find coping strategies and support to deal with my own mental heath issues in a community setting. I have learnt good coping techniques, had easy access to support workers and Pathways Advisers and been able to spend time with other fellow strugglers in a safe environment.
