As well as supporting people with high levels of needs, we aim to:

• promote independence and enable people to live supported in their own homes where possible
• increase opportunities for choice
• work with partner organisations to promote health and wellbeing.

We work in partnership with the Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust to provide the best service to people with mental health needs. We also work with a range of voluntary organisations.

Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust

The trust provides specialist mental health services to people of all ages in Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire, forensic mental health services across the Thames Valley, services for children and adolescents in Wiltshire, Bath and North East Somerset as well as specialist eating disorder services for adults in Wiltshire.  It also provides community health services to people in Oxfordshire.

Staff work closely with GP practices, community pharmacies, children's centres, school charities, universities, voluntary groups and county council services to make sure patients get 'joined up' care.

NHS healthcare services are provided either in community hospitals or from within local communities to support people near or in their homes.

Most people are referred by their GP but they can also be referred by social services, housing departments, schools or the criminal justice system.
