Local people were asked to ‘turn up and talk’ this week in Camberwell Library as part of an initiative that involves setting up ‘problem solving booths’ for people to share advice and help tackle each other’s problems.

This simple approach is being tested as a way to provide help, advice and signposting for local people. The project has been developed as part of Thrive London: a citywide movement for mental health, supported by the Mayor of London and the London Health Board that aims to make mental health a priority in London.
