Home Treatment Team

The team provides a high level of support to people over the age of 18 in mental health crisis or relapse in their own home.

The team offer an intensive package of support to people on their caseload who are experiencing acute problems with their mental or emotional health. They will assess the person at home and decide if they need a hospital admission or whether they can be treated at home to avoid admission where it is possible and safe to do so.

Intensive support is offered over an agreed period. This can include:

  • practical support
  • help with solving problems
  • medication
  • relapse prevention
  • crisis planning

The team is available 8am and 10.30pm, with night cover from 10.30pm to 8am.

The Home Treatment Team provides support based on each person’s individual needs. They work closely with community mental health teams and care coordinators. We have 2 teams which support people in the east and west of the county.

Self referrals

We accept self-referrals or you may be referred by your community psychiatric nurses, GP, or other health services.

If you believe you would benefit from support from the Home Treatment Team, call 111 and choose the mental health option to discuss this with us.
