Mental Health

About_Us.png

We provide quality mental health services in an independent, nonstigmatising neighbourhood based setting, providing a choice for people who may not wish to access services located within a statutory agency location. The recognition that early intervention is effective in preventing future mental ill health/emotional distress or relapse is central to the work we undertake. Working alongside our partners in health and social care and other voluntary organisations we deliver supportive and preventative interventions to enable us to offer reduced waiting times; promote choice and compliment existing services. We work alongside the local community including schools, colleges and employers to challenge stigma and increase awareness of mental health issues.

We have an established Service User policy which can be downloaded below.
