Crisis Service

Overview

A multi disciplinary team that serves adults of working age (18 - 65) experiencing a mental health crisis.

What we do

The service is a multidisciplinary team of experienced mental health practitioners providing an emergency assessment and home treatment service for people living in the Bristol area experiencing a mental health crisis and who would otherwise need admission to hospital. 

If admission is necessary the team will also facilitate an earlier discharge from hospital when appropriate to the service user. 

The team's involvement is short and intensive, support and treatment in the community, during difficult periods for services users and their carers.
