Adult mental health services:18+ and 65+
Adults 18+
We work in partnership with other specialist agencies and neighbouring health boards to improve the care patients receive.
This means that more than one team - such as psychological therapies; community mental health teams; assertive outreach staff, crisis resolution and primary health care liaison services/gateway workers teams - work together to develop individualised care and treatment plans.
Pregnant women and new mothers are offered care and treatment from our perinatal service.
We have assessment and admission wards at Cefn Coed, Neath Port Talbot, Tonna and Ystradgynlais Community hospitals.
We also work very closely with custody and prison staff. The prison in-reach mental health team are based at HMPs Parc and Swansea and there is an in-reach team working with police custody staff.
Adults 65+
These services may be developed for people over the age of 65, but they focus on the individual needs of a person. So this means that younger people with illnesses that usually affect older people, like dementia, are also offered specialist support.
Again, we work in partnership with others. Our older people community mental health teams work with specialist agencies and voluntary organisations. This helps us provide tailored care and treatment. Services include home treatment/support and stay; intensive home support; psychiatric liaison shared care; memory clinics; primary care education and drugs for dementia clinics satellite clubs.
Patients can also spend time with us in one of our hospitals for assessment and admission or continuing care and respite.
