New Wellbeing Accommodation for Adults Experiencing a Mental Health Crisis
|
Bath Mind has opened a non-medical house, offering wellbeing accommodation for adults experiencing a mental health crisis.
Orchard House, located on the edge of Midsomer Norton provides a step-up service for people living in the community who are experiencing difficulties with their mental health and need support to avoid hospital admission. It also provides a step-down service for those leaving an in-patient setting who would benefit from additional support before returning home.
The house has been fully refurbished to provide a calm, welcoming environment for up to four people to be supported at a time. Staff work with each person to create an individualised support plan, to develop their coping skills, regain confidence in daily activities and enable them to safely return home; as well as working collaboratively with the individual’s mental health team to ensure they have the right support in place when they leave Orchard House.
This service is only available for referrals via Avon & Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership Trust (AWP). They accept referrals for people living in B&NES, Swindon or Wiltshire. For more information please contact the Orchard House Team at orchardhouse@bathmind.org.uk or 01761 252770.
More information and contact details are also available on the Bath Mind website [HERE].
