The LHF Mission Statement

The Laura Hyde Foundation is pleased to announce our 2020 vision that contributes to our mission of changing the mental health landscape for the emergency and medical services. 

We believe by implementing these initiatives we will bring about a needed improvement to mental health attitudes and support to ensure our frontline and healthcare workers are properly cared for. 

• A clinically supervised 24 hour mental health support line for all medical and emergency services personnel 
• The appointment of Mental Health First Aiders in each trust and place of work 
• The appointment of a mental health champion at each workplace 
• The implementation of a formal documented mental health and wellbeing policy with adequate signposting to staff in each hospital trust 
• Fast track counselling referrals for healthcare and emergency services workers 
• Training for all managers/supervisors in mental health support
