Description

If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis and you’re worried about your safety or their safety, we provide assessment and short-term treatment services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Once we’ve spoken with you or with someone who’s supporting you, we will assess you to decide what the best options are.

This assessment may be carried out at a clinic, in your home or at another agreed venue. We will discuss assessment and treatment options with you.

This team was previously known as the crisis assessment and treatment team (CATT team).
