Our community mental health teams provide care for people recovering from an ongoing mental health problem. They support people to live with a mental health condition. You may be referred to this service if you have, or may have a severe or long-term mental illness. We offer you support in your own home and the community.
Our teams are part of the Triangle of Care and recommend carers to use the Carer’s Trust.
There are 8 teams covering their own local area. Please contact your local area team for full details of available activities and groups.
