We consist of multi-disciplinary teams providing both community and inpatient care. Many of these services are provided in collaboration with partner agencies, both statutory and non-statutory.

Our services are organised into a series of pathways;

  • Non-psychosis team
       
  • Psychosis team
       
  • Intensive lifeskills team
       
  • Memory service and dementia team

The pathway teams are supported as required by the Access Team and Crisis Team. For urgent responses within four hours to people in crisis.

Our vision is to work with service users, carers and key stakeholders to develop a range of services and support networks that ensure that individuals are empowered to live as optimum a life as possible. We believe services should be as close to home as possible and indeed in the majority of cases people will be able to be supported to remain within their home environment.

We will carry out an assessment of your needs. This is an opportunity for you to ask questions and for us to find out how our services can help you towards your recovery.

You will be encouraged and supported to get involved in the planning of your treatment. Where necessary, we can also provide access to specialist services such as sign language to help you participate fully. 

Care and support planning, along with the assessment, is part of a process known as care co-ordination. There will always be a member of staff identified to lead your care. This person may be referred to as: your care co-ordinator, key worker or lead professional.

Once your needs have been assessed, we will work with you to draw up your personalised plan of care. This may be in the form of a ‘Care and Support Plan’ or a letter describing your care. You should be given a copy, so if you’re not, please ask.
