The Crisis Assessment & Home Treatment Service is a community based service providing crisis mental health assessment for individuals who require an urgent response and are likely to require the support of community or inpatient mental health services. The service also provides short-term follow-up (<6 weeks) for new service users who have been urgently assessed and require a period of specialist input/intervention; or for existing service users of community mental health teams who require acute home based treatment intervention as an alternative to hospital admission. We provide crisis response to adults from 8:00AM - 4:00PM and will support all age groups after hours.
