Transformation of Community Mental Health Services

We’re transforming the way we provide community mental health support for adults and older adults in Sussex.

Neighbourhood Mental Health Teams (NMHTs) have been developed as part of the community transformation programme, which bring together local NHS mental health services, GPs, and community and voluntary organisations to offer more joined-up, personalised support.

This work is part of the NHS Long-Term Plan, which tasked health and social care systems across the country to develop new, more joined-up, ways of delivering care in the community for people with severe mental illnesses.
