History and Brief of HP-MOS

Health Psychology Management Organisation Service (HP-MOS) is a registered company by guarantee and registered charity working closely within many London Boroughs, Community groups, European organisations/Institutions and corporate organisations to build the capacity and capability of service provision and delivery. This burden is felt more acutely amongst deprived and marginalised communities. We strive to transform the way we work with people with long term conditions to focus much more on prevention, and early and accessible community-based psychological support services. We aim for these preventative support services to enable people to manage their conditions and their lives better in the long term which demonstrates a key component of our service. Additionally, we aim to promote actions in improving life chances and reduce health inequalities for marginalised and disadvantaged people and communities. We do this by giving the highest priority to the delivery of national and local mental and physical health needs to meet a challenge of providing psychological support that encompasses self-management and empowerment outcomes. Our planning and delivery framework of providing psychological support “unpacks” health conditions in a more “bottom up” approach by presenting a parallel “self-management and empowerment” narrative for which people experience more control over decisions that influence their health and lives, hence improve their quality of live.
