Joint working with Merton Uplift

Physical and mental wellbeing sessions

One You Merton recently held it’s first physical and mental wellbeing collaboration session with Merton Uplift – a free integrated Primary Care Mental Health service accessible to anyone living in the borough of Merton or registered with a Merton GP who is aged 18 years or over.

The idea of doing joint sessions with Merton Uplift is to cater to the needs of people’s overall wellbeing – Merton Uplift talking about mental health & well-being and One You Merton talking more about physical wellness.
