Support in the community

We are developing a flexible range of services to take account of the requirements of individuals and their carers. By talking with the person and, when appropriate, the people who look after him or her, a variety of care and support services may be arranged. This will often assist people to carry on living in the community.

We give priority to prevention and assessment services so that hospital admissions are reduced to a minimum.

The aim of the Mental Health Team is to improve the quality of a person's life by helping them understand the problems they face, together with making objective plans for alleviating the situation.
