Accessed via a referral from your GP, this service is for those over the age of 65 with more complex mental health problems (such as anxiety, depression, psychosis, bi-polar depression) and/or memory problems.
You will be offered assessments and interventions with different professionals depending on your needs. This might include psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, social workers, occupational therapists and support workers.
They will work together as a team to improve your mental wellbeing. The sort of help you may be offered might include medication, psychological therapy (either individually or as part of a group), occupational interventions and interventions by nurses.
