At Lancashire & South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust, we know that the most powerful lessons often come directly from people with lived experience.
The My Story playlist brings together personal accounts of recovery, resilience and the challenges of living with mental ill health. These stories are not only deeply moving, they also help shape the way we deliver care and design services.

A new systematic review has explored how core beliefs — the deep, often negative ideas we hold about ourselves and the world — play a role in psychosis.
The findings suggest that these beliefs can shape symptoms, recovery, and response to therapy. For clinicians, this highlights the importance of addressing core beliefs in treatment, not just the symptoms themselves.
This research adds weight to approaches that look at the whole person and their lived experience, making care more personal and effective.

The government has announced new neighbourhood health services in 43 communities across England, supported by £10 million funding.
These services will bring together GPs, nurses, pharmacists, social care staff, and voluntary organisations to provide joined-up support closer to where people live.
For mental health, this means earlier help, less time waiting, and care that looks at the whole person – not just individual conditions. By connecting physical and mental health support, the aim is to reduce avoidable hospital visits and make it easier for people to get the help they need in their own communities.
