Introducing a Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioner into a community learning disability team – A reflection

This reflective piece is going to focus on my experience, as a Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioner (MHWP) in a community learning disability team (CLDT). I will describe what a MHWP is, why the role has been introduced in the NHS and discuss my experience of integrating this new role into an existing team whilst delivering psychologically informed interventions to a learning disability population.
