About this service
Our Discharge Buddy Service offers short-term support, over a four to six week period, to individuals after discharge from crisis services.
Our structured social, emotional and practical support focuses on an individual’s strengths to help recovery, improve wellbeing and prevent future mental health crises.
Referrals into the service are via the crisis care pathway and mental health community teams, primarily the Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment Team (CRHTT) and acute in-patient wards.
Our Discharge Buddy Service is designed for individuals aged 18+ who are experiencing a mental health crisis and require additional support being put in place with Locality Teams and/or family carers.
Our team operate during office hours, Monday to Friday, and offer one face-to-face or telephone contact per week. These sessions are designed to provide practical and emotional support, introduce self-help techniques and connect individuals to further mental health services and community-based support.
