Community mental health

Mental health problems can happen to any of us at periods in our lives. Some people have a temporary problem associated with a personal crisis such as unemployment, bereavement or divorce. Other people experience the long term effects of a mental illness.

Whatever the cause of the problem Kent Mental health Services aim to provide the help and services people require to ensure their lives remain as normal as possible.

We have community based mental health teams which serve local communities across Kent. The team members are able to discuss people's needs and the services available. We work closely with other agencies such as district health authorities and voluntary organisations so that we can best meet individual needs.
