Service Detail

The Low Intensity Team works across the borough offering continued mental health input for people who are ready to move on from a community mental health team. We focus on mental and physical wellbeing, promoting recovery and independence. We work closely with other local services including GPs. Our team is made up of a psychiatrist, nurses and a support worker.

Interventions include:

• Reviews with a psychiatrist
• Prescribing and administering medication
• Monitoring physical health
• Support around physical health, such as help to stop smoking or advice around diet and exercise
• Supporting service users to get involved in local groups and activities
• Information and referrals to other service
