There are five Community Mental Health Teams (CMHTs) based within the Mersey Care Liverpool Clinical Business Unit.
They work with people with severe and enduring mental health problems as well as those with less severe illnesses who have not responded to interventions provided in Primary Care services.
All five teams work on a needs-led rather than age-led basis but four primarily work with ‘adults’ (usually over the age of 16); with the fifth team at Mossley Hill primarily working with older people.
All the CMHTs in Liverpool aim to promote recovery prevent relapse, and encourage social inclusion. The CMHTs consist of a disciplinary team (MDT), of Doctors, Nurses, Support Time and Recovery (STR) Workers, Social Workers, Occupational Therapists, Family Support Workers and Psychologists, who have a range of skills to cover the needs of all service users. The teams aim to develop positive relationships with service users and others, founded on the basis of hope and optimism.
The teams will carry out comprehensive assessments, provide a care plan which identifies needs and how those needs will be met, and reviews that plan of care on a regular basis work in partnership with service-users and their carers.
People are seen in outpatient clinics and in their own homes; with assessment and support in managing medication, and with a range of activities, for example, in work, education and social activity, which will help promote recovery. They will work in partnership with other services and agencies to ensure effective service is given to those in need. The teams further seek to deliver the care with respect for the individual with regard to the differences within our society and the preservation of dignity.
