How our service can help you
Psychosis Community Service (South Southwark) provides care for adults,
aged 18-65, who have a psychotic illness. This involves distorted
perceptions of reality - thinking, feeling, hearing and seeing - often
with symptoms of hallucinations and delusions.
We are available to people who live in the London Borough of Southwark
who already receive care and treatment for mental illness from one of
our other therapy services.
People eligible for our service must be
on the Care Programme Approach (CPA). The CPA is a way of describing
what you need in order to get the best care. It is for patients who
need to see several people or organisations for their mental health
care and treatment.
We help people to continue with the improvements they have made
with their illness. We teach people the skills they need to live
independently in their community.
We work with teams of health and social care professionals,
including nurses, social workers and psychiatrists; all working
together with the patient and their carers. We also work with the
patient's GP, local day care centres and housing associations as required.
