About Recovery House
Recovery House (RH) is a new and innovative service we are launching that meets an important need for people (18+) experiencing poor mental health. The RH will provide those in crisis with a safe, secure and welcoming environment to support the de-escalation of crisis. The House will be open to new and existing BSMHFT service users and will provide a homely environment, allowing people to retain independence, whilst receiving person-centred and appropriate care.
The service, which is part of the Trust’s Urgent Care pathway, is a partnership with Birmingham Mind and builds on the range of strong collaborations we have with the voluntary sector.
The RH will serve as a base for community integration, allowing service users to connect with local communities and provision, as well as their family/carers.
