We are the lead provider of mental health and learning disability services across Herefordshire and Worcestershire supporting children, adults and older people.
We work alongside community partners to support people’s mental wellbeing; provide support for people experiencing stress, anxiety or depression; run a range of specialist services which care for people at home or on a ward; and our crisis team provides around the clock support for people experiencing an escalation of their mental health needs or a crisis. We also provide learning disability services across both counties which support children and adults to increase or maintain levels of independence.
These services support around 10,000 patients, and their efforts help avoid approximately 30 hospital admissions everyday In addition our Countywide Community Services include Worcestershire’s community hospitals and rehabilitation units, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, community stroke services and specialist neurological clinics.
