ADULT MENTAL
HEALTH PATHWAY
OVERVIEW
ADULT MENTAL HEALTH PATHWAY
Because your
health matters.
We care for the mental health of people of all ages. Our aim is to help people manage their health and live successful, independent lives. Mental health problems affect people of all ages and walks
of life and can relate to physical, social, environmental and/or genetic factors. Some people are more at risk of experiencing mental health problems than others. Our role is to help you get the right
and appropriate care for your needs. Our mental health pathway is designed to allow you to move easily between services depending on your needs at any given time. Depending on the kind of
treatment you require, you can receive care through your GP surgery, at home, as an inpatient or in your local community. Please note the services below are just a few of the mental health services
we provide. For a full list of our services, including further information on NSTEP, Older Adults CMHT, Crisis Cafes and IAPT please visit our website: www.nhft.nhs.uk/mental-health’.
We’re dedicated to helping you get on the road to recovery, because your health matters to us.
