Who We Support at Elizabeth House
Our acute inpatient Mental Health service provides a safe and stabilising environment for men and women who are in crisis, experiencing an acute episode of mental illness and requiring an emergency admission. Service users may be informal or detained under the Mental Health Act.
The ethos across our service is about assessing and treating service users in the least restrictive environment and planning for discharge in a robust and timely fashion.
With a focus on stabilisation, we support service users to manage their mental health, reinforce daily living skills and prepare for independent life back in the community.
Our teams work closely and collaboratively with service users, their families and the referrer to provide a seamless pathway from referral to discharge. Our approach is recovery focused and supported by comprehensive multi-disciplinary teams, contributing to shorter lengths of stay.
Our short-term psychological interventions are underpinned by a range of therapeutic programmes that includes access to occupational therapy input and onsite activity co-ordinators.
