Our mental health services encompasses a full range of services for adults and older people. We work alongside people with mental health problems, and we provide a range of prevention, community, inpatient care and support services to promote good mental health and help people to improve or manage their own health. As well as supporting our patients, we support and help their carers, families and loved ones.
Our adult services provides people aged 18 years and over with compassionate and supportive mental health services. These make a positive difference to the lives of thousands of adults each year. Services are designed to help people with neurodevelopmental disorders, such as autism or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and include access hubs for those in need of urgent care for mental health. We offer assessment and high-quality treatment for people with a variety of disorders, from anxiety and depression, to psychosis. We also provide preventative services, such as education and training to maintain positive mental health and wellbeing, and psychological therapies which support self-help as well as prevent conditions from worsening.
DBT is a specific type of cognitive behaviour therapy adapted to meet the needs of people who have very intense and highly reactive emotions.
