The CRHT is a team of experienced mental health staff which includes nursing, psychology, social care, pharmacy and psychiatric staff.
We can provide assessment and short-term, intensive community support for you, if you are experiencing mental health crisis. The team aims to work with people who, without this support, would need to be admitted to hospital, or who cannot be discharged from hospital without intensive support.
We also act as a gatekeeper to other mental health services, such as acute inpatient care, and will ensure that all potential alternatives to hospital admission have been explored with you before admission is considered.
The CRHT will also refer you to other services if longer term treatment is indicated.
