Isle of Dogs Neighbourhood Mental Health Team

The Neighbourhood Mental Health Team (NMHT) is a team of professionals who work together to offer mental health support and treatment to people within a local neighbourhood.

They work closely in partnership with local GP practices, voluntary sector organisations and the Local Authority to offer person-centred care. If required NMHTs would also facilitate referral to specialist borough-wide mental health services or clinics or other resources e.g. therapy or educational or self-help groups.

The Neighbourhood Mental Health Team is an amalgamation of what was previously our CMHT (Community Mental Health Team), Assessment and Brief Treatment Team (ABT), Enhanced Primary Care Team (EPC), with several additional new professional roles too.

Sometimes they will offer care directly, and sometimes they advise and support other services to provide mental health care.
