Who we support

Mental health is influenced by multiple, interconnected factors. Our approach to recovery therefore considers a person's life experiences, environment and social circumstances, rather than focusing solely on symptoms or their diagnoses.

​

At the same time, we recognise that prospective residents, their families and referrers may find it helpful to understand the types of people we are best placed to support.

​

We support people experiencing severe or complex mental distress who might otherwise require hospital care or who may struggle to access specialist services because of the complexity of their needs.

​

We can offer support to:

​

  • People experiencing complex, severe and overlapping mental health diagnoses and co-occurring conditions, as broadly outlined in the diagram.

  • People with histories of complex or repeated trauma, self-harm and substance use.

  • People transitioning from hospital, or those who might otherwise require hospital admission.

“I’ve been in five other supported living services before coming to CHT. There wasn’t the emphasis on community that there is here.  I think a lot of mental health problems are caused by desperately wanting a connection and not knowing how to do that. And then you fall into negative behaviours. Here, the feeling of community is really strong, and I think it's really important for mental health recovery. Loneliness and trying to go through recovery on your own is a lot harder”
