Mental Health Trust Services

Mental health can be complex. Common problems such as stress, anxiety and depression can affect people's ability to keep on top of things such as paying their rent or engaging with services. Complex mental health illnesses includes schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or eating disorders.  

You can assist residents to access help if they are experiencing mental health problems. You should encourage them to talk to their GP. Some mental health services can be accessed through self referrals.
